Need Help...Repacking Wheel Bearings
Got a 2007 SCREW 2wd with 41K. Putting new Thermoquiets on the front and gonna take the rotors off to have them cut for their first time.
Can someone post up directions on the proper way to do this. I've done boat railers before, but this is the first on my truck. Any manuals or tips you can pass along??? Did a search and it did'nt show any pics

make sure to get a new hub nut and loctite 252 your caliper bolts. you can't repack the bearing, they are all sealed hub units just like the 4x4's, just you have a spindle instead of a hub

300 is alot, lol. i put new bushings on a old ford, 77 i believe and it called for 700 FT LBS! that's alot, lol. IMO a good torque is a must in everyone's toolbox, i have seen WAY to many people just crank the nuts on and call it good, not safe.

Hmmm. I thought I read some threads that the 04 and newer 2wd F150's had a bearing inside the hub and most people take them off and re-pack or go to a shop that has a "on the car brake laithe.
