Hello,
This video shows how to completely rebuild and replace the front disc brake assembly on a 4×4. The truck in the video is a 1990 Ford Bronco, this method will apply to many Domestic and Foreign vehicles as many had the Dana 44 front axle (which is shown in this video). The Dana 27, 35, and 60 are similar in design.

Excellent video. Anybody who teaches often forget that things that seem "common knowledge" are actually the foundation of the topic they're teaching. Especially for YouTube videos, where the ignorant come to learn (Hi, that's me by the way) it's important to describe things that you wouldn't think are necessary. I've been a trainer for nearly 20 years, you did a great job in hitting on some information that I needed to do this. I've got a leaking front hub on my 93 Bronco XLT. I'm not a mechanic, I'm an armorer. Things I wouldn't have known to get in preparation for taking apart my hub assembly I didn't have to find out the hard way. Thank you.
Great video. So you had the entire front end held up by one jack stand under the pumpkin on the driver side? Am I following you correctly?
Great video but I have a question. Look at time stamps 2:11 and 14:16. At 2:11 you are removing the hub assembly. Assuming that the hub was assembled correctly previously, it clearly shows the teeth facing OUT on the sprocket or at the top of the sprocket. At 14:16 you flip it around to re-install it and even state that when the sprocket goes back in the teeth must be recessed. They were not installed in that recessed orientation when you disassembled the hub so now I'm confused as to how that sprocket goes back in.
Your videos are the highest quality. My 1991 F150 4X4 and I thank you young man.
What are some things I should do to a bronco that has been sitting for 15 years it’s a 1988.
Bro, you should win an award for this video…. watching ahead of doing my 84 F250. Thanks
Best video by far I’ve seen on doing this tedius job! It’s a lot of shtuff to do, but should last a LONG time, eh?
Very thorough, and concise and a big help for humble diy cowboys like myself! Thanks!
Awesome. Thank you.
id doing a 5.8l with Auto 4×4 easier or harder then this? This really did not look hard! I feel the auto might be more of an issue I cant seem to find a good video
Great video! Do you have a link to the seals as well?
I have a 96 bronco with auto hubs, what size spindle nut socket do I use for that?
Hello, just wanted to say I enjoy your videos, it's always fun to see how others work on their cars. I've been working on the 4th and 5th gen Broncos for a few decades and wanted to point out that you made a serious error that many people also seem to miss so your not alone.
When you torque the inner bearing nut, its 50ft lbs, back 90°, then torque to 15 "INCH POUNDS". The outter nut is then torqued to 160-185ft lbs as you mentioned. 15ft lbs on the inner bearing is high enough to cook them.
I think it very important that the video be edited.
Again no judgment, great content, just pointing this out.
How long would you say this job takes from start to finish if you didn’t have to instal brake lines?
I DID THAT TO MY 44
ON MY 87 , i CHANGED THE FRONT EN CORE SUPPORT GRILL SND LIGHTS FENDERS AND HOOD AND THE SPINDLES THE CALIPERS BOLT TOSND UPGRADED THEM AND GUSSETED & PLATED ALSO DDED AN f250 SLIPSHAFT PAS SIDE AXLE WITH BIG U JOINTS.CYCLED IT ALL AND CLEARED IT GEARED AND LOCKED NEW RADIATOR & HID UPGRADED THE LIGHTS LONG BREAK LINES FRONT & REAR LONG TRAVEL CUT & TURNED KLIFT ON KING SHOCKS pOWDERCOATED IT ALL GLASS FENDERS AND HOOD . nO MORE BULLNOSE FRONT END ITS NOW 96A LOT MORE WORK BUILT DRIVETRAIN & ENGINE
Can I ask why on earth you’d replace steel braided lines with rubber? The rubber lines are not near as strong….
Excellent video, nicely done.
Great video!!! I was going to buy the rotor and hub assembly from your link but it says it fits 1988-1992. I have an 87. But if I use the links for the rotor and hub separately it says they will fit. Do you know if the preassembled rotor/hub will work?
I have the f150 1995 4wd is it the same on mine . I'm having a really hard time and I've been stuck. That spacer just pulls out to get to the next spindle nut so I can get the rotor off ?
16:17 right left ahh yes my least favorite to bleed
I have a 84 bronco and I’m stuck at the second ring pin
will this work for a f-150 1982 xl ?
I can’t believe you put that seal in with a hammer !!!! I guess it’s as critical as my semi
Mine only has one spindle nut
What is the part number for the back seal
One of the best mechanic videos I’ve ever seen. Very well done.
