Pretty awesome video! 100% hats off to you for getting into it and sharing your experience while doing it. You definitely showed us how easily, yet time consuming, it can be done when you just go slow and make sure to do it as a process of smaller jobs instead of looking at it as one daunting task. Thank you!
Thanks! Nice thorough job, camera work and narration. It was reassuring to see you struggle with the same items as I did (hub nuts, seal/axle removal) as other videos or instructions simply say “remove” or “it comes right out”.
Great video boss!. My 01 excursion started to leak after I took it to my mechanic, go figure. I'm not a mechanic either but ever since I purchased my excursion I've worked on it from changing out the injectors and cups to every 3,000 mile oil change and only reason I took it to "my mechanic" was to save me some time and have him do it. Wrong choice but lesson learned. I have the 7.3 powerstroke
Thanks. The best thing my mechanic friend ever did for me was tell me he didn’t have time to swap the 16g turbo into my brand new 99 GSX 25 or so years ago. That’s when I decided to do it on my own by printing the instructions off the internet, and adopted the motto of “what’s the worst that can happen”. It’s been my guiding principle for all these years 😁. Cheers, and happy, healthy and safe New Year to all
For a novice like me, having the right tools and parts to do the job is a tremendous asset, and I always give props to people and companies who make it possible. Thanks 👍
Thank you! I'm getting ready to do this exact repair. I will have to do my ball joints, tie rod and ends, etc. Further, I'll have to do my U joints. And just yesterday I see I have to do new springs all around. Thanks for taking us step by step. It looked like a real pro job.
Thanks. Luckily the rest of the front end was in great shape, so I don’t have to worry about it for now. However; the suspension needs to be addressed at some point, but not an emergency.
I’m a lifetime Ford technician and own an F250 Superduty Crewcab…. But I learned about axle guides from this video… I’m going to rebuild my brother’s Superduty next week so now I know what tools to take in case the Dentist doesn’t have them….😂
Thanks. 😁. This channel is a learning experience for me more than a teaching channel. So many things I never thought I could do, turns out I could with a little research, time, right attitude, and the right tools. Some tools I decided to spend the money on, but others I did try to find alternatives that didn’t cost as much, and I could use them for other things.
For a first time job, I gotta say you did a most excellente job! But, although they seemed to be in good condition you might should have replaced them U-joints, lol, bcoz you know what's going to go bad next😄those U-joints!!! And then you're going to have to take everything back apart again, ask me how I know this...😀 That being said, you did a great job my friend!👏 👍👍
Thanks. You’re right though. The u joints are probably next. I was so excited about getting the seals done and driving that I didn’t bother touching them 😁
Hey brother, did your inner axle seals look different than the spicer ones you got? Like was it a different design? I just took my old ones out and they look different than the spicer ones I got was just making sure I got the correct ones, I ordered same ones you used.
@littlemissgracing6515 no worries, I found out the spicer ones I got are the newer recommend seals for the 99f250 and the old one I took out are obsolete. Thank you
@@azeeninety55 OK. I am glad it worked out. One thing to check if you haven't wrapped up the job is all the wear items like ball joints and u joints. I checked the u joints, but never bothered with the ball joints, and now the state inspection station told me the ball joints are starting to go and I won't pass inspection, so I have to do those... lesson learned.😡
I'm currently doing this job, however after consideration, I've decided there's a high chance the diff carrier bearing may very well likely be the culprit, and since I'm already in there with axles removed, might as well... I do NOT want to do this job again anytime soon.
Good call. I should have done everything when I did this. I just got my truck inspected, and the inspector said one of my front ball joints is on its way out, so now I have to redo all the work I did, since the axles have to come out to replace the ball joints :(. I'm also going to do all the steering parts while I am in there. Making sure whatever could be replaced does so I won't touch the front end again😬
Of course I'm stuck on the part where you and others skip over. Getting the gears loose from the differential housing. I didn't know "you need a friend" was a requirement. I never would have started. #friendless
I didn’t know either until I got there and realized “just pull the gears out using “insert this little trick”, was not going to work, so I had to “phone a friend” to help me out.
All Spicer part numbers (need 2 of each, except pinion seal, need 1) Hub O-ring: 41784-2 Hub vacuum seal: 50491 Outer axle dust seal: 50381 Shaft guides: 48058 Inner axle oil seal: 2019816 Pinion seal: 50092 Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.
The kit I got from Ventures had all new seals including the vacuum seals,, but yes, as I mentioned in the video, I have never done this before, and could imagine what experienced people who’ve done this multiple times would think. That’s how we learn 😃

Thanks. It’s amazing how much we can accomplish with a little planning, time, and the right tools 👍

Thanks. Nothing comes loose as easy as a lot of instructional videos show 😁

awesome! keep it up Mate!!!!!
Thanks 😀
Awesome video good job
Thank you👍
Congratulations! I am going through this right now and your video was helpful.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Excellent job, nice attention to detail
Thanks. The right tools and time are critical imho to get the job done right.
Northern Tools 1/2" impact socket in size 1-1/4" also works to push out the axle seal. It barely slides through the white plastic guide, but it works.
That’s good to know. Thanks. I love simple solutions 👍
GREAT VIDEO very helpful 👍
Thanks
Nicely done 👌
Thank you.
Great video 👍👍 just subscribed

They looked exactly the same, otherwise we would have noticed. Sorry man.

Please list part numbers...
All Spicer part numbers (need 2 of each, except pinion seal, need 1)
Hub O-ring: 41784-2
Hub vacuum seal: 50491
Outer axle dust seal: 50381
Shaft guides: 48058
Inner axle oil seal: 2019816
Pinion seal: 50092
Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.
Manual locking hub
On the list 😁
It's pretty obvious you haven't done it before. You remove axle by prying on the back in by u-joint amd tube as to not damage vacumm seal😢
The kit I got from Ventures had all new seals including the vacuum seals,, but yes, as I mentioned in the video, I have never done this before, and could imagine what experienced people who’ve done this multiple times would think. That’s how we learn 😃
You did an excellent job…. No wonder you’re into racing…!
Thanks 👍@@josepharagon8259
