Thanks for the vid. It came up today while searching for a little info on replacing my locking hub. Just FYI for anyone installing a NEW locking hub…the retaining clip does not go back this easy because it takes a little effort to seat the new o-ring on the NEW locking hub and initially there is not enough depth for the retaining clip to pop in to. I just installed one today and the trick is to just get it started where it stays put like in this vid, and then use a demo screwdriver and tap it on the clip in several different spots and you will see the hub gradually seat itself and the clip pop in.
I'm going to be doing the whole front end soon. Been feeling an unusual feeling intermittently in the steering wheel. I think a u-joint (CV joint) is starting to bind. Found an axle kit from Detroit Axle to do everything. My 2006 6.0 Powerstroke has over 162,000 miles on it. I'm thinking that's about 260,000+ Kilometers. I know 62 miles is 100k.
Don't vise grip your rubber lines. They have a hard inside line you can crush. Just put a stick from the front of the seat to the brake pedal and move the seat till it applies slight pressure. Disconnect the battery or brake light switch so you don't kill the battery.
Hey just wanted to let u know a small trick. The wheel hub u removed with the ABS , well if u remove that sensor from the wheel hub assembly, you can actually put grease in there and the grease gets down to the bearings. So non serviceable hubs can be maintained to make them last a bit longer…
You never went back and torqued the 4 nuts to the knuckle. I’ve been torquing mine to 133 ft/lbs as per the shop manual and my truck is on its third hub. Did you just forget to tighten them or what?
You really need to replace the axle shafts on both sides if the needle bearings failed or only on the side it failed. The axel wears down where the needle bearings failed and rubbed against the axel shaft. If you don't it will not last long

Works like putting your finger on a straw. Fluid can't move

I wish it was as easy as just snapping it back in lmao
