Replacing F250 Front Axle U-Joints and Seals 

Guys, I get it. The radio is distracting. If I had a nickel for every time someone commented on it, id have, like 45 cents. Lets be honest, my videos aren't "viral". I do my best to provide y'all with quality content-- this one was an oops. You can still hear me though!

Great video, convinced me to take my truck to the shop. Labor intensive and I do not have all those tools, big vises, pry bars, snap ring pliers, etc. But I loved the video and it helps me to talk to the repair people.

Today, I used this excellent tutorial to swap out my u joints, hubs, seals and locking hubs on both sides, 2005 F-250 Superduty 6.0. The best advice was to get that 36" tuning tool from Harbor Freight Tools. Everything went perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to post these videos.

Great video. I've been a mechanic for over 30yrs in the military, dealerships and mostly on my own vehicles. I've found that I can buy the tools, quality parts and do the work myself far less expensive than paying someone else to do it. Plus No One does the work as good as I do on my own vehicles because they either don't care, don't know any better or just hope the customer won't know/see where they cut corners, such as the simple things like cleaning up the dirty/rusted areas. I've rebuilt several front end suspensions, engine work, etc. using OTC or as good of tools and saved thousands of dollars. I appreciate you being another "good Ole boy" that is also intelligent and articulate so that the video is a good one. USAF retired also. Thanks again!!

Great video, i came to see how to use the tool lol, but I really laughed when you said you couldn’t remember what they call the clip, then said you remove it with your snap ring pliers.

Appreciate the video. Gives me the insight i needed before cracking into it. Didnt even know about the tool needed. Very helpful and to all those who complained... Well if you cant tune out the radio then you cant tune out a woman either...

Nice video and explanation! I have this on the to do list for the end of the month. Thank you!

Thanks for the video, it really helped me to understand, what I have to do. I have a 2000 F250 super duty. I guess there will be some differences, but I will work that out and great point about replacing the seals. Thx again. Great job.

Thank you for the video, I have a 2018 and used your video to replace my U joints

i appreciate this very much! your presentation was easy to follow and im sure i will review this again. Thanks

😂🤣😂 “of course mines covered up with some bullshit.”

Great video. You showed me just what I needed to work on my 2013. Thanks for the tip on the tool, I would have just tried to make due with something else and likely wrecked something. P.S, I found your music selection very soothing. Good luck!

Nice job. I always put my lug nuts on the running boards too lol.

Hex head hoopty magoos lol. Thanks man, awesome video.

I have a 2008. I did the driver side only as the other side was still very good. I did not have to touch the sway bar. And the abs sensor you can unplug from the other end if you are scared of braking it. Thanks for the video helped me a bunch!!!

Thanks for the advice man this really helped

Appreciate the video, very helpful.

You can actually take the whole brake assembly off as on piece and save the step of removing the caliber and brake pads.

This guy and his radio…. Am I right? I mean are we all gonna sit here and not talk about the audacity of this freakin man?? I mean hell I got my bearings done and all but it was hardly worth the mental gymnastics the radio put me thru……(insert sarcasm now) 😂😂 great video!

Great video. Helped me see if the play in my axle with the hub assembly off was normal. Right @22:26

Great video, thanks 👍👍

Very informative!

Good pointers on this!! Mine are about due, i can give mine a slight wobble

Thanks so much for your help!!

Thanks man it's my first time

When I popped my axel off I wedged a socket behind the pry bar to get extra leverage it helped make it even easier.

Im lucky enough to have a 08 250 and a 2010 and wouldn't ya know have to replace both u-joints both trucks good video man.

Great video, im subscribed!

Thank you buddy

All these pansies complaining about the radio. I enjoy the radio in the background. Also, you had me cracking up at the tuning tool several times. Thanks so much for this video. You've helped me more than you know!

I for got to ask mine is a 16 f250 with that tool you used part number OTC will that work for my year.? Thanks again awesome video

You're my hero...

sweet music, Mike!

How do you like those new shocks on her? Is the ride any better lol I thought about getting those

lisle 38700 snap ring pliers are very helpful for this job

Thank you or posting. Pry bar saved me, Workshop manual calls for punching the seal out from the back of knuckle... right.....

I wish I watched this beforehand... I put the inner seal on the shaft and now it's a pita to get the last little bit in

Thanks for taking the time and sharing your information and knowledge on this job. Especially appreciate the info on the OTC tool. Just curious, what part manufacturer did you use for the u-joints and seals.

Thank you

Great Video. Do you have the seal numbers and u joint number by any chance? Please and Thank you

Tip... knock that vacuum seal out from behind before you remove the axle. I use an air chisel with a pointed tip to gently persuade it. Makes the axle come out so much easier. Like the videos and yes...lose the fn radio.

when you said your that guy.......i couldn't stop laughing. Its like HOLD My BEER!

How long did it take you per side on this?

im doing this on a 97 ford explorer i'm guessing it's more or less the same

I'm watching your video because of USAF99... lol I'm retired USAF graduated basic 98.

Thanks for the video.....with this work on a 2012 F 250? I heard some clunking when turning one way on my truck....I'm thinking that I will be doing this sometime soon. Thanks...

What is the part number for the inner seal?

You can save the step of removing the tierods, just cut the wheels all the way one direction, remove both wheelbearing bolts, then cut the wheels all they way back the other way and remove the last 2. I used a Cobalt 24 volt compact 1/2 impact gun. Its a little tight on one bolt but you can get it.

About to change my seals, I heard a old hub works for installing the seals. If you have one lying around might save some money. Thanks for the video! Music didn’t make it hard to hear you a bit 🙂

Thank you.

You just saved yourself alot of money

I have an 06 f-250 can you send me the info on the seals you used ? I was replacing my hub assembly and those seals are completely wore out and I wanna make sure I get the right 1s.

Giant tool and expensive seal? You’ve convinced me to leave it alone when changing out a hub assembly.

I didn't think the music was that distracting I could still hear what you were saying

doing this to my 05 thanks for the video ive done said every cuss word available

Snap ring removal.. --->youtube magic

Is the outer vacuum seal on the manual lockouts as well?

Snap ring

Hey, so uh.....was the axle shaft hard to turn once you put the outer bearing back on? And did it free up at all after you drove the truck? I'm putting mine back together and it doesn't feel like it did before. I don't think I'm going to hurt anything by putting it back together and running it, but I'm just wondering.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully next time you can turn the radio down so we can hear what you are saying.

Mine is stuck on the cv axle part 6697? I can’t get it off

Did you have wander in your steering wheel I'm trying to find a fix for mine

Can I drive on mine for another week? Just realized they are both shot, just bought the truck

Mine are shot, is in dangerous to drive on them until I can get them fixed?

Would a bad axle seal cause hub bearing wear by any chance? And when you change your wheel bearing assbly, am I able to pull out the axle ever so slightly play?

Did i miss the u joint part ?

Sun of a gun dont have that bushing set tool gonna have to make do with somthing.Think the only thing u didn't mention is the snap ring pliers need to be a long reach pair. We bought 5 pair and still had to borrow a set from a local garage.

How do you know that you need to replace

What year is this truck?

Taking that hub off where there’s 4 bolts on the back side is going to be impossible 😂 the bolts and threads are so rusty and a bad spot to cut then

I ordered 6695 for my 2000 f-250 4x4 will this work ok

I thought you're gonna show how to1 replace to U joints

Bruh!! You know I watched your video. And I had my outer axle seals in the right way. But I took it all apart because I was second guessing. The way you told us is not right. It should be flipped. Cost me $60 because I ruined a new seal that was in proper the first time

Axle replacement f350

Good Stuff, Great Tips👍🏿😀 but your choice music needs help😜

It's a tuning tool lol

Just buy the tool and some good .09 snap ring pliers save money and time

Thanks for the loud music in the background. It drowned you out, bro.

Giving you a like because I like it, but you gotta bring your camera in closer main. It's hard to see from this distance

Round House.....made in America.

Instead of that tool couldn't u just use the old hub

Don't use those harbor freight jack stands theres a open recall on them, and the new version that they replace them with!!!

The title is video is changing F-250 front axle ujoints and seals, at 16:10 minute mark you say I'm not going to bore you with changing the U-joints and axle seals, not trolling Im just laughing I thought that was funny as hell

I heard music but it wasn’t distracting like all the crybabies are saying. lol

you said the abs sensor is 400 dollars wow

Can't hear because of the music

Nothing like an overly masculine truck guy changing axle parts to 17 y/o girl music.

You know every video I've clicked on so far says how to change U-joints and I can't find a goddamn one that shows me how to install the damn things everyone keep skipping over it what the hell is wrong with you guys everything else is Patrick Lee common sense

Shut the radio off
