    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    Ya, crazy how easy it is. I was looking at it, and it appears to just be pressed in pin, in a pinch could have pressed in a small nail or something and cut to size, but im not living on a remote island lol I just got amazon to deliver a new one.

    Punisher valve bodies?

    I wouldn't not buy from a company because of the name, in this day and age marketing is everything, so if its a catchy name maybe it grabs people in. Honestly, only reason I clicked on this post was because I said Oh man I havent heard anyone talk about Punisher valve bodies in awhile. I...

    Summit Radiator?

    I hate that we have become a throw away society like that, you cant hardly repair anything for almost the cost of new, or more in some cases!

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    Good news, one side is done!!! Bad news, I broke the nipple off the lock ring somehow…. Waiting on a new one to arrive so I can finish it up, along with a service kit for the manual hubs, the O rings are toast on them… then bleed the brakes, get a new vent tube back on the carrier and bleed...

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    Progress was made today, getting close darn kids and early sunsets killed getting the hubs on… Does this seal look seated enough to ya?? I should have put it on the shaft before I installed it, but in the video I watched it got pressed on with the spindle, but that wasn’t the case for me...

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    Thought about it, but honestly I don’t use 4wd that much, and the oil that came out was surprisingly clean and still amber, and I haven’t touched the diff in the 11 years I’ve owned it, so I’m not too worried about it. Maybe if I did more off road, or used 4x4 I would do it, and honestly you...

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    It sucked, especially when you’re laying on your driveway and just have a floor jack in a piece of wood to balance the carrier on. Even just moving the carrier around to clean it and do the seals. It was heavy!! All in all, I’m glad I did it. I hope the RTV job holds up. Got kinda buggered...

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    Major progress today Rotors are mounted on hubs, just need to pack the bearings and install the seals. The carrier was removed, new seals on both sides, and reinstalled… what a pain!!! I didn’t replace the u joint because it was solid, and honestly I’m over it lol

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    Right its the only saving grace actually, Gonna do both seals while its out as well, shouldnt be a horrible job... I hope Still struggling to find the torque specs on the dana 50 ball joints. I see the f350 dana 60 ones everywhere, but conflicting info on d50

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    Little set back lol … Drivers side axle seal broke I also think I need to pull the front diff, I’m pretty sure it’s leaking, got a pile of gunk all caked on the rock guard, and I’ve seen drips that smell like gear oil. I can put my pinky in the fill hole and not feel oil, so it had to go...

    Dana 50 wheel bearing replacement, how in-depth should I get

    I went down the wormhole of trying to find the best grease actually, and lost a few days time trying to decide actually. I made the mistake of searching best wheel bearing grease, and i quickly discovered there are Many options and opinions, before that search I just thought grease was grease...
