[QUOTE="1killerz, post: 1343701, member: 24585"] [b]rear continued...[/b] So step one. Open your beer. Charge up your air compressor. Look at tire.... [ATTACH=full]161957[/ATTACH] Step two, remove the tire. Would have taken a picture, but I only have two hands; one for the beer and one for the tire. Step 3, remove the antiquated drum brakes that barely stopped your truck adequately. [ATTACH=full]161958[/ATTACH] Step 4, charge up air compressor again, open another beer (it's hot damn it). See all these bolts? They need to come off. [ATTACH=full]161959[/ATTACH] Don't lose these bolts, they are kind of important... [ATTACH=full]161960[/ATTACH] Step 5. Get a oil catch pan, it may get messy. Remove the axle shaft [ATTACH=full]161961[/ATTACH] Treat that shaft like gold. Don't just drop it. Carefully guide it out of the axle tube. Step 6. Grab another beer Step 7. There is a hub nut in here. It takes a four (4) pronged hub nut socket, not to be confused with the six (6) pronged hub nut socket found on older Dana 60's. This is threaded specifically to the side of the truck it is on. Please consult book as I am no expert. But I believe the book set left hand thread for the passenger side and right hand thread for the driver side. [ATTACH=full]161962[/ATTACH] Step. 8 Comment about how hot it is and how much you love the smell of gear lube in the evening. Step 9. Once its off, inspect the bearings for wear. [ATTACH=full]161963[/ATTACH] Step 10. If you can't get the hub off by hand (as some others have indicated you could do), and you can't find the part number related to the ford service manual for the step and the puller, gentle use of a slide hammer works as well. I have no pictures here, as I was being careful as to not mar any parts, or damage any threads, etc. I used the hub nut socket to assist in keeping the balance so as not to damage my threads.
