The STEMCO spindle nut comes with instructions for torquing. 200 lb-ft, 3 spins. Loosen then torque to 100 lb-ft, 3 spins. Then loosen 1 face mark on the nut and install the keeper.
Whole process was informative and easy to understand the only comment/sugestion I have please clean that old oil and maybe even repaint whole back part of it so it does look "properly" done, plus if you leave like that your driver will have hard time convincing DOT officer that the seal has no leak and has been replaced recently. Good luck, drive safe.
Never washed the bearings? And packed them with grease before installation? There is always dirt that gets into the inner bearing when removing the old axle seal.. I’d be cautious if these mechanics that take shortcuts like this.
You can clean up the brake pads & drum with brake cleaner, no need to replace them. Yes, DOT would say you have to replace it but as an owner op. I have just had the brakes & drum cleaned all the oil off & can save $ on doing that. If the drum isn't got grooves cut in it then you can run it longer.
@@albycortez1992....umm, your wrong. You can clean up the the brake shoe & reuse them because I have seen it done but you can do it how you want. If the brake shoe is not too soaked in oil then you can keep useing the same shoe.
I personally have not done it myself but have had mechanics to do it to my own truck & I'm ok with it provided that there isn't any sign of oil on the edge of the brake shoe which would be visible for DOT to see. Just because you get a wheel seal leak doesn't mean you have to change the brakes too because oil got on the surface of the pad. I say clean it up & keep running it if you still have descent pad left.
If someone is about to do it this kind of stuff first time, then this is not the best video to follow. Find something that walks you through in babysteps. But overall, it does provide a good suggestion or reminder on how it is done.
First, you didnt clean anything (sould fully inspect clean bearings, races and spindle), Second you put silicone on a sealing surface (with the wheel seal) completely unnecessary and takes way more time for the next guy since hes gotta remove all that silicone, Third you didnt even torque the spindle nut down properly, hack job here
