Great job! Thank you for your write up! made it so easy! Hardest part was washing the grime off my hands! Wish my truck was as rust free as yours! Very creative with the axle seal tool!
Thanks again,
Chris

Wow, what a time and money saver. Spent days looking through manuals and websites to no avail before seeing the great pics and right on instructions. Used the info to replace hubs and axle seals. No I feel confident to replace the ball joints. Loved the home made tool. Thanks for the great work.

Thanks for the writeup and the instructions on the special tool. I couldn't figure out which way the axle seal went or how to press it on straight. This worked perfect.

You are the best. I do my own work on vehicles and would have still been trying to figure out how to get the hub out. Ever think of writing for Chiltens or Haynes. I have never seen anything like this in one of their books.
Loved the tool too. I find myself making many of my own tools as well. I was concerned about the pipe fitting over the axle but the 1.25 inch was right on the mark. After that, I didn't even question the 1 5/16" socket size.
Really cool... Thanks
Admin reply: Thanks Matt. The main reason I did the write-up was because I wasn't exactly satisfied with other sources of information on the topic. I very much appreciate you taking the time to post your comments.

Thank you so much! This made changing the hub & seals so much easier. Especially when my boyfriend was at his wits end trying to figure it out! Once I found this I was able to tell him exactly what he needed to do. The pictures were my back-up, so after his initial hesitation he quit doubting me...LOL! That home-made tool made life so much easier also. Didn't bring the materials list with me when I ran into the hardware store, but after reading through this & seeing that picture so many times I was able to reproduce it much to his surprise & delight. (He was still trying to be thick-headed thinking he could do it without it!) Thanks again! You save a lot of headache & relationship stress! I'd say you deserve a whole case, not just a beer!
