Unlike youself I am a qualified Automotive Mechanic with some 30 years experience, and 14 of those with our Ambulance Service working on a fleet of Mainly F250's. An automotive friend and workshop owner asked if I had ever replaced a Frt Axle seal on a 4x4 F Series as he was having problems working out how to disassemble. Unfortunately I had not dealt with 4x4 so I was unable to help. It got the better of me so I deceided to Google it and here I am. Congrats on the comprehensive, clear and consise instructions which made this job a breeze.Double thanks for doing the hard yards and providing the detail on the tooling required to replace the seal as well. I have shown him the web site and I feel sure he will refer to this regularly in the future.
Thanks again, You should write workshop manuals.

Comments: All I can say is WOW! I do a lot of my own work and this site is incredible. I recently had neck surgery and so I don't dare attempt the ball joint replacement and will have to bite the bullet and pay for it to be done. This tells me so much however on what my repairman will face. It will make me knowledgeable when I talk to him. The "how to" you have is fantastic and I will put this in my memory banks for next time. Words cannot say how "class" the information was presented and the photo's so clear. What a fantastic article. Thank you for sharing your smarts and a job so well done!
Admin reply: Steve,
Thanks very much for your kind words - very encouraging! Nice of you to take the time to post. I hope your neck heals up well.
Regards, Jerry

Comments: I wanted to thank you for the detailed instructions on changing the ball joints. Spent a few hours this weekend and got the job done. Having your instructions there saved me hours of trial and error. I found having a 20 ton hydraulic press and the correct dies helped alot too.
Admin reply: Lloyd, thanks for taking the time to post. Glad my info was useful to you.

Comments: want to thank you for the detailed instructions for changing ball joints on 2002 f 250 4wd
you saved me. the chilton book i have said don't even do it you self. guy at alignment shop thought i was auto mechanic when i told him i replaced myself.
i cannot thank you enough.
Admin reply: J, glad my info was helpful. I have found the modern Chilton's lacking. When a teenager, I had a 71 Nova, and my Chilton manual was awesome. The modern ones try to cover to many model variations in one book.

Comments: Out standing information web site. Having to do my own repairs as I cannot ofen afford the help of experts such as the dealerships getting good info is golden- by using the step by step procedures on how to replace ball joints and seals I was able to fix my truck and still have money in my pocket to pay all those other annoying bills. Great site Dude. Thank you from me and my family. Dean B. Tacoma Wa.
