good video except for a couple of things. always check bearings always good to replace oil seal on the backside. When compressing caliper piston open the master cylinder so not to pop the cap/lid and it makes it easier to compress! Just Saying
thanks so much for the video. wondering if you can help...is there any way to adjust the parking brake without pulling the axle or even removing the dually tires?
There should be a hole in the backing plate that allows you to put a screwdriver in, and turn the adjuster. It may even have a rubber plug filling the hole.
Thank you for your video. You are the only person I could find who explains the purpose of the serrated edge on the threaded disks that hold in the axle. My whole axle came out today while I was driving. I am guessing I did not tighten the disks well enough.. Do you know the torque rating for them?
Good stuff, thanks. But please next time get rid of the dummy jack stand, the red jack stand that throughout this entire video supported ZERO of the weight of the truck...Why do you have a dummy/non used red jack stand?? Dangerous I would say.
+5153flash I have to say I don't have a good answer. Having done work like this for so long, I basically have a "feel" for it. You may be able to ask at the parts store. I have found that they are usually pretty good about having those specs.
+Jo Daddy's Garage I found the answer. Was told no more than 50 ft lbs,,but really to where the axle is snugged up and tight with no play/movement. Does that sound about right?
Ricardo Dominguez don't know the exact size but there's really only one socket size that fits ford axle nuts, it has the tabs that fit the slots on the axle nut, ask the people at your local auto parts store, they should know
Good catch. Only took 6 years for someone to notice that. It's a retaining spring for a parking brake, and in this case front or rear doesn't matter. If it were the standard drum brakes, it would definitely make a difference.
