hub replacement on a 99 2500 4x4
11 Attachment(s)
i replaced the hub on my front passenger side of my truck. i took some :pic: and figured i would do a short DIY on it. it is a 99 dodge ram 2500 4x4.
started off my jacking the truck up, and grabbing the wheel and shaking it Attachment 48180 next you take the wheel off Attachment 48181 next is the brake caliper to remove. i take a couple zip ties and tie the caliper to the frame to keep it out of the way Attachment 48182 next take the cotter pin, nut and washer off the end of the axel shaft Attachment 48183 then you remove the 4 bolts off the back of the hub that holds it to the knuckle Attachment 48184 once you get those 4 bolts out, there is several different ways to get the hub off. u can buy a bolt from a parts stor that threads into the back of the hub, and use a bfh and beat it out. or you can do as i did, and take a socket and extension, and have it hit the axel, and turn the wheel. causing it to push the hub out. Attachment 48185 now that you have the hub and rotor off, its time to seperate the two. take one of your lug nuts, and thread it onto one of the lugs, and use your bfh and knock it out. then repeat on the other 7 lugs Attachment 48186 now you have the hub and rotor seperated Attachment 48187 next is putting the studs back in the new hub. i put the old hub on the floor, then put the new one on it, and then the rotor in place like so. Attachment 48188 then you put the studs in. i do it this way, because the studs are longer then the hub, so trying to beat them back in, it would bottom out what ever your using before the bolts are all the way in. when ya get all the studs set in, you take and beat the studs back in Attachment 48189 then you put the hub back on, put the 4 bolts back in, and tighten them up, drawing the hub back into place. then you put the washer, and locking nut back on, and tighten to 175ft.lbs. then install the cotter key into the hole. if is not lined up, move the locking nut just a lil to get the hole lined up with a slot. then bend the key over. and the finished pic Attachment 48190 then put your brake caliper back on, then the wheel, and take her for a spin :) |

Nice write up Ed!! I am trying to figure out the trick you used to push the hub off the axle when you said use a socket and extension and turn the wheel you mean the steering wheel? This forces the hub off the axle? can you clarify this trick never seen it done before.:rocking:
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Oh and what size is the big nut? |
i was told the nut is 1" 3/4, correct me if im wrong
