Ford Super Duty Front Axle, Bearings, Hubs, Seals, U Joints, Ball Joints Replacement on this 2001 F250 4x4. This is a bit more involved than an oil change for sure, but with some dedication, a couple of tools you might purchase or rent, and some patience I think you will be able to get through it! Remember I am not a mechanic, I have no professional training, and no clue what I am doing. If you duplicate anything I do or take any of the thoughts I give during this video, do so at your own risk and cost!

Your work is better than the long time channels. I should mention why: “you record and play video of the true ‘grunt work,’ most channels edit out the frustrating portions and skip ahead.” I have a 2000 F-350 V-10, Dana 50 front axle and 10.5 Sterling rear axle. My kiddos and I love the ‘Tank.’ I would recommend one tool for you on making the ‘non-serviceable’ 4wd hubs serviceable. Riff raff diesel front abs grease block off with Royal Purple grease. Your hubs will have longer service life.

The hub seal tool - I agree it's worth it. I tried using a homemade version and got the first side on, but it took forever and I ended up damaging the first seal. Even with the tool, I couldn't get the damn thing to start with a mallet after about 20 minutes of trying. I resorted to using a log splitter as a hydraulic press and it worked like a charm. Without the tool, the homemade version required a LOT more screwing around. I may sell the tool on ebay after I'm done, but I may still have enough friends with the old trucks to warrant keeping it for now. Thanks for the walk-through!

I watched your video a few times before doing all this. Very mechanically inclined but I still like to see it done if it's out there. This was way easier than I was expecting but none of the stuff I was removing was original except the axles. Hub came off after the last nut came loose amd ball joints broke loose easily. Worst thing was prying the axle out because I don't have prybars. I will add to anybody watching this and somehow see this comment, Powerbuilt kit 46 is the ball joint press kit you want for every attachment you need. I would also STRONGLY recommend getting the 1/2" Milwaukee high torque (2767-20) impact. Using that and the ball joint press, old ball joints came out in about 5 seconds each, and about the same amount of time to press the new ones in. Easy. As far as the U joint removal goes, that was not as easy for me, as those C clips didn't come out very easily. So what I did was hit on the caps a few times each with the sledge hammer amd that broke them loose enough to get the C clips out. Unfortunately I didn't even realize my outer shaft was gouged pretty good from the hub so I had to buy a new one, so I just bought 2. I did cryogenic rotors and Hawks pads last year so my brakes are good. Pretty much replace everything minus suspension.

@paulanderson388 2 жыл бұрын

@@carlspackler91 A hammer, wood, sockets, etc. can all be used successfully, or in an emergency roadside fix, if you pay attention as you say, and are careful. That said, it is not the best way to do the installation as there is a greater chance of damage from an errant hammer blow, hammering on mis-aligned parts, etc. The correct ball joint press, vice, etc. are always preferred as they lessen the chance for damage, and it is easy to tell if things are not aligned properly during the installation. I have seen guys changing pistol sights by placing the slide in a vice and "drifting" them out with a hammer and punch. This can also work, but it is not the preferred method, especially on an expensive gun. A sight press doesn't cost that much ( as compared to the value of the gun) and offers a much finer adjustment potential than a hammer and punch without the potential chance of damage.

Would you recommend putting any kind of locked tight on any of these bolts

@AGuyandHisProjects 3 жыл бұрын

I do not personally. Very few bolts on vehicles in my personal experience call for loctite. Typically speaking it is all done by Torque specs. When adding loctite and even antisieze you change the load on the threads

Ugh just when I thought I was done spending money on my truck for a little bit lol... ball joint time! With the ball joint/u joint press you bought, did you need to buy any of the Ford adapters for it? I'm pretty sure you didn't buy any but I'm wanting to make sure before I go and order stuff. Awesome video thanks for making this. I do all my work myself however I had a shop quote me for every thing you did (and what I'll do). They said $1,450 was what it would cost me. Probably what it would have cost you too just fyi...

@AGuyandHisProjects 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and the comment! Yeah, I cannot afford to take my vehicles in for everything, no freaking way lol. The ball joint press I have was capable to doing the entire ball joint job in and of itself yes. Very much worth the money. The only special part I used is for the axel seal inside the knuckle. I belive I have that linked as well. Let me know how it goes!
