[@Gigitygigity24]

[@farmsgrace341]

Nice job. My only suggestion would be, since you had the hub apart, you should have pulled the spindle out and inspect the bearings and seals. If you're going to go that far, might as well go all the way.

[@bryanford1139]

Thank you, was just about to add this comment myself .....aaaaaand, that's what she said!

[@SeanFillner]

I don't even own a humvee and I watched this. Good times Dakota!

[@johndavidwolf4239]

One recommendation, after torquing the nut to 40 lb-ft, and rotating the wheel forwards, and backwards, put the socket and torque wrench back on and without loosening, tighten to 40 again and note if the socket/nut moved, if it did, repeat, if it did not, loosen and re-torque to 25.

[@maxreilly3934]

Agreed, Even more, if your going to all this detail just as preventative maintenance… I would: Torque to 20 rotate Torque to 40 rotate Relieve Torque to 20 rotate Torque to 25 rotate Torque to 25 done

Dakota: Thanks for the detailed video on how to inspect and service the spindle nut. Getting ready to replace the output spindle seal on my H1 this afternoon.

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Glad I was able to help! If you get stuck on anything just let me know, I could give you a call and help out.

[@NKPGarage]

Fantastic video. Great detail on all the important parts of the process. THanks for taking the time to put this together!

[@h1hummerlimo]

My h1 wheel fell off 20 years ago 15 min after I just purchased it......great advice! Cost me about 3k to have fixed

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

Don't bother with replacing the spindle nuts with the stock lock/star nuts. They're prone to failure even when new. Get the "BlueHummer" locking spindle nuts from ModMafia and never have to replace them again. It's the 1st upgrade to make to the truck without a doubt.

Can you make a video on how to replace rear brake pads and calipers on 1989 M998? Thanks

[@johntuffeau1412]

Hi, Dakota wood, I am French and I would have liked to have the hub torque tightening because I do not speak English. Please. Thank you for your answer and continue it's great!

[@TheLordReverend]

40 foot lbs turn the hub 10 times in both directions then take it to 40 foot lbs.

Hallo Dakota, Thank you very much for your *Instructions - did learn a lot, the Hmmwv - is another Dimension, in case of my old M1009-35-years-old-stuka-of-wheels. did follow your videos, collecting experiences others, preparing - I guess next car will be M998, surplus. Unfortenately no Humvee -surplus sales in Germany (most are given as mil.-aid/help = especially to Ukraine +- 600 ea;) Dekades back, I had had various suvs, best of All - US-Mil.-Vehicles.= -did start w/M38A1, as i have been in your age. until today, for my land- manor no better car as an US-Mil-vehicle. May I wish you health and luck, and would be nice - seeing more of your *Lectures..

[@giainhphan-tasticomy1595]

Thanks DW!

[@gfgianfranco1894]

Congratulations for The video. Another question. What is the maximum temperature indicated by the coolant needle that you have ever reached under effort? Have you ever touched the line/notch next to the middle when overexerting yourself? Thank you

[@topher573]

Great video! Hadn't really thought about doing this very important maintenance on my newly acquired M1151A1. Do you have the part number or link to the kit? Is it the same for all four corners? Keep up the great vids. Chris

[@jamalalhumood7532]

Thanks

[@topher573]

Is a kit sold with all three parts per hub together I can buy or do I need to buy each part separately?

[@satyanarayanana7563]

Where did you got that spindle nut kit sir ? All three ?

[@petergriffin8681]

why not use thread tape on those fittings? seems that would provide for easier maintenance down the road...

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Peter Griffin Good observation! Thank you, I’ll use that for now on 👍🏼

I own a M998 .. and im trying to find a good place to order parts. Like.. Front left Axle the boot is tore. also looking to the 4 door canopy cover. thats not going to cost me my first child..

What made you decide to change the spindle nut? I have one with 29K on it should I do the same?

[@gfgianfranco1894]

Hi friend. I would like to explain better what I did today. the 2 radiators placed in the upper part have been completely disassembled and worked to have them restored. one if I'm not mistaken is that of air conditioning and the other that of engine and transmission oil. As for the latter, first of all, I have a question for you. 1) Should the gear oil level be checked with the dipstick when the engine is running and when it is hot? 2) after draining the coolant from the drain valve, I added 17 liters. How many liters do you need? 3) today I dedicate myself to the level of the engine coolant. I filled the tank to maximum and turned on the h1 from a standstill by turning the main and auxiliary fan to maximum by moving the heater knob completely hot and waiting for the engine to reach normal operating temperature. the car remained stationary during this operation with the engine running without driving. When the engine reached normal operating temperature, I unscrewed the screw of the 2 air bleeds but not a lot of air came out and no coolant came out. because? I'm asking you this because I don't want to cause engine damage and burn the cylinder head gasket. thanks friend . Kings regards Gianfranco

[@texassingh1027]

Thanks for all the great content you post. I am trying to buy one off auction. A few questions; - looks like most the fasteners are imperial? Or is it a mix? - how long after auction win do you actually get the truck? - any suggestions on noise reduction? Thanks

[@omyajt]

Does that humvee have lighter springs? If so, how do you like them?

[@FirstNameLastName-hy2iz]

When rolling my M998 on a slight down hill with foot off accelerator and brake I hear a squeak every revolution of the wheels. Have any ideas what that could be?

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Could be uneven wear on a brake rotor.

[@edbo10]

Was there no gasket for the spindle nut cover? Feels like there's meant to be a gasket there, unless it didn't come factory standard.

[@edbo10]

@@1968zz4350 ahh ok, it just seemed wrong to have a bare metal surface for that thing until you mentioned that the manual calls for sealer to be used.

[@balmis3907]

@@1968zz4350 Civilian Hummer H1 uses gaskets mostly. The Humvees uses sealer wherever possible. The vehicle was meant to be serviceable in the field, better to bring a tube of sealer on the mission than 80 different gaskets.

Hey all. Quick question about the CV Shaft retaining bolt. Say, (worst case scenario), my screw came undone and walked itself out of the shaft. How can I fish the bolt out of the hub? I'm at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏.

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Hey! You would have to take the side cover off the right side of the hub. It’s the cover that has the fill plug. You might be able to fish it out with a magnet.

[@angrypatriot5392]

Thank you @Dakota Wood I'll give it a try. Hopefully, if I can get this, there's no damage to anything on the inside. 🤞
