Was this a 2WD vehicle? If so, what changes if you are working on a 4WD
F150. Mine is a 1999 but I believe it is the same through 2003? Thanks
for the great video!

The mechanic just uses an impact wrench and over tightens everything….
They don’t follow torque specs. So you’ll be ok dude

trulysick86 says:

100-130ft lbs will move the truck some… 10ftlbs is about finger tight…
Its ok to guess on most suspension parts.

trulysick86 says:

The right side pops when turning and its bumpy…. Sigh, I’ll probably have
to replace the bearings again now. I’ll just tear off the dust shields or
grind a circle in them to match that rotor. Ha

trulysick86 says:

I bought those same rotors, put in new bearings, and they’re rubbing on my
dust shields so the bearings won’t fully seat until they wear through the
shields.. Such a pain, having to readjust them constantly. I wish RockAuto
had a pic of the backside of these…. They’re nice rotors, but that shield
rubs on the dust shield…

trulysick86 says:

Its probably a collapsed hose(rubber hoses collapse internally) or a brake
cylinder… Neither are hard or expensive to replace.

Not sure if serious but a torque wrench?

AirRaidAaron says:

I didn’t know of this tool, thanks!

mike schall says:

how can you tell if you got these style bearings or the wheel bearing style
that the rotor slides on without taking the wheel off?!!!

Shank Montgomery says:

I need to invest in one of those bearing packers cause im always worried
about if I got enough into all the nooks of the bearings

JustLouIt says:

I like how you say ”bolts”

hunterdanshow says:

@Jennifer Glass no, it would be the same from trucks year ’97 to 2004

AirRaidAaron says:

How do you know how much ft/lbs you are tightening your bolts? Are you just
guessing or is there is a tool or something that tells you this? This video
is the most in depth video of this I have seen, good work.
