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.

Thanks for the detailed write up. You may want to add that OTC 6695 is the generic tool for the axle seals, runs 40$-$80's .
Admin reply: Thanks Joe. I added the information on the tool to my pages. Thanks for the great suggestion.

Great write-up. Thanks for taking the time to include pics. Just when I figured the internet had become just a marketing gizmo whose only use is to rule the masses and exploit the "consumers" most humans have become I find a how-to like yours that was shared simply to help others - Excellent! :) :)

cool write up I was going to atttempt myself on '04 f350 but was told you need a alignment job when finished.I have the same setup as the pics. what parts would the use for alignment with the leaf spring setup.thanks
Admin reply: You don't have to do an alignment unless you have a specific reason to do so, or if you moved the camber-adjusting sleeve. The camber-adjusting sleeve is used for alignment.
