EDIT: Found one: use this video
I've got an 04 Heritage and it's RWD. So the front wheel bearings are loose/packed bearings (correct terminology?) and not the typical wheel bearing hub assembly. Long ago I watched my dad do them on his 81 F150 but I don't remember how to do this.

I have the repair manual at home (at work now) but I'd really like to watch a video to supplement this and to see what parts I need to buy to do the job. But I can't find any good videos. Suggestions?

Moved to the 97-03 section. Since it's a heritage model you'll get better results here.

Didn't watch all the way through to verify the quality of content.... but here's one.

Is that where I should post? I never knew which was the better place bc from what I understood, it was an 04 truck except the body panels and interior. I'll remember to post there in the future. Might be helpful to tack on: "(04 heritage)" to the forum header for 97-03 forum. Just a thought. Thanks for your help

Thanks. That was pretty much what I was expecting.

I found a better video. Also shows how to pack the front bearings on a RWD like mine. Very helpful....although "Ronnie Rok" seems like an interesting fellow lol

Yes, you will have better luck in the 10th gen section. Basically heritage models are leftover from the previous 10th gen models. They still have the 5.4 2v instead of the 3v and are just an extra year of the 10th gen trucks. Silly Ford.

Even more interesting is his removal tool set.

What do you mean exactly? The C-clamp? That's what I've always used, works great. I especially liked the part where the kid wanted to sniff the grease lol. Oh boy....

Specifically his removal tools. A stubby screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
