it is also not a spindle it is a steering knuckle.
you should have bought a ford
never use a claw hammer on steel, they tend to bounce and lodge in your
face, not a pretty site, always use a ball peen hammer.
do you have to get the alignment done after this?
thanks for video it made the job a lot easier than I thought..and loved
your work bench im going out to the local goodwill and picking one
up…thanks again
dude that is the anti lock cable not speedo cable.
Just wanted to say I like your music! -You’re a Believer too! I watched a
couple of your other videos and enjoyed them. Good stuff Brother!
Thanks for the vid. Have an 06 and have paid through the nose to have then
done, biggest problem they say is the wheel bearings get destroyed in the
process.
Ok, thanks. I’m headed out to complete the mission. Great video. I have
a hydraulic press and a few benches though. LOL
thanks bro !..awesome vid ! u just save me $600 buks …Aloha !
nice job man!!!!
you should kill yourself
go out and buy some anti seize compound and put it everywhere metal touches
metal,, this way next time you need to work on it or brakes, changing tire
etc it will come apart easier.
Just a little tip … turn the u joint so that the grease nipple faces away
from the caliper …next to impossible to grease it the way you done it .
“let’s just pretend it’s brass” Lol, You guys are after my own heart. I
have been “mechanicking” on my back and in gravel all my life. Hats off to
you.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Just a couple safety notes learned the
hard way:
1.) ALWAYS chock your wheels! Setting the e-brake isn’t enough.
2.) ALWAYS use a jack stand, the hydraulic seal on that bottle jack or even
a heavy floor could give out and down comes the truck on top of you.
Scissor and even Hi-Lift and tripod jacks can wobble and fall or just
simply fail, so same there too.
Great video on back yard mech-a-neck-in, thanks again!
Just a pointer guys. When re installing axle assembly’s in to the
differential be sure not to ram them in to place as you can damage the seal
and your diff will leak out the end if your axle tube. Cheers
Yep. Your rotor may be stuck, but just pound on it for awhile and it should
eventually come off. (of course on the side as shown in the video NOT the
brake pad surface part. I did not film how much and how hard I had to bang
on the rotor before it finally jarred loose.) The odometer sending unit is
easily removed with a simple allen wrench.
great vid!
Cool video! I was worried about being able to do this in my driveway
tomorrow. Now my only worry is how bad the winter salt has rusted things
together. 🙂
just need to take off the caliper and the 4 bolts in the back?
Appreciate you sharing the sizes for bolts. Great video for us back yard
guys! Thanks!
Thanks. Just a backyard mech. trying to save money and winging it along the
way. I did learn from error that if I’m changing just the uj’s that I dont
need to remove the main wheel bearing nut (the one with the cotter pin.)
That is only needed if you want to change the wheel bearing.
Great video! Very informative and oddly comical! Thanks for posting this it
will help me with my truck!
Ha nipple! classic, nice vid now I don’t have to go buy a bunch of stuff !
abs sending unit not odom
