Honestly this is the best and most informative video i have found on doing hubs. Youre awesome man

[@figsoutside1981]

Sweet, thanks! The compliment is greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching.

[@johnkauffman1191]

It actually axle nut has two Torx sir. The first torque is about 132 foot pounds to 149 foot pounds and this is on 2003 to 2005 dodge it doesn’t matter if it’s 2500 or 3500 4 x 4 then you spend the hub 5 to 10 times let the bearing sit and then final torque is. 263 foot pounds. I’m not going to use Nm You don’t want it over torque your hub bearings or under torque them you torque them at 300+ ft pounds that’s way over. You might’ve been thinking ( 357 Nm) Which is 263 foot pounds

Question I lined up the splines but they don't want to slip through the hub by hand. Do I used the nut to pull the axel shaft through the hub or is there something wrong with the new hub?

[@figsoutside1981]

@Patrick Tucker Great? Yes, use the nut to pull the splines. Had to do that several times on different rigs. The machine tolerances are super crazy sometimes and they match a little to perfect if you know what I mean. You can also check the front edges of the splines to sure there are no burs and also on the hub. Thanks for asking and for watching.

Great vid!!! Chic oh wow wow lol

[@figsoutside1981]

😂🤣

[@nickromano8851]

Do you think I can get hub nut off with a 1/2 inch drive or do I need to buy 3/4 inch ratchet, socket & breaker bar?

[@figsoutside1981]

I have done them with a good 1/2” drive breaker bar and cheater pipe, but I like the 3/4” a little more for peace of mind.. I probably wouldn’t trust a ratchet to break them loose.

[@nickromano8851]

Thank you for letting me know@@figsoutside1981

[@mechmomma1055]

Did you put thread lock on the hub bolts?

[@figsoutside1981]

I don’t recall, if I did, I always use blue.

[@nikitavoshev8566]

Is the hub supposed to come apart in 2 peices? 😂 Mine did.

[@figsoutside1981]

Ummm, No! Lol must be a custom piece.🥸
