No they are not that hard to get off, that was how easy it is to take my spindle nuts off but I did make sure to torque the inside nut to 40 then back off a 1/4 turn to free the rotor and you put the center spacer then the outer which I left torqued to 40 so my spindle could spin the rotor center and free
Usually the outer should be tightened to like 150ish with this setup. If it is just one nut, your procedure is closer but 40 ft lbs is too tight. The, "official," ford procedure is *usually* tighten the nut to 30ish ft lbs to seat the bearings, loosen 90° or 180° whatever, then tighten to 18 INCH lbs. That's the way it is on the heavier trucks I've seen, like ambulances.
To be fair that outer spindle nut very commonly is loose upon tear down….we usually torque them closer to 200ft.Lbs
You can do this alot easier. Put spindle nut all the way on . Put small 3 jaw puller on end of axle. Run bolt in . Mine came right off.
That c clip and the washer and thrust washer were missing from mine on both sides iunno where to find those
So the drivers side is the floating side?
I am doing the other side and can't find the part any help please
I need the shaft and slip yoke and snub shaft it broke at the slip yoke and hit everything g else
Is this a 2WD or a 4WD?
4x4
It has a front differential, that's a dead giveaway usually
I got a massive leak on my 93 front axle I gotta do this now wtf
I have the same problem
very useful, I wish I had seen this sooner.
