Great video brother. Precise.

[@dtauman012792]

AWESOME videos

[@tedenderpalmer6550]

Very helpful

[@DieselJunkie7.3]

Is there a part 2 to this part 1?

[@dcp4988]

Good call on the spindle needle bearing. But all the B-2110 I see online are not caged.

[@scottieJatlarge]

Did you end up replacing the hubs and axle shafts?

[@mikethrapp]

Follow up vid?

[@Donjo58]

Is there a part 2 or more? Is there a kit for the bearings and seals or did you purchase independently?

[@bustedwrenchgarage2051]

There is a kit for most of it

[@joshdailey2298]

So if you leave your hubs locked then the caged needle bearing around the axle wouldn't be in use at all correct?

[@renegaderiders9289]

The bearing also keeps load off the knuckle seal, so yes, but it would shorten the seals life

[@deans5479]

Hi i like your video. Part numbers would really help.

[@bustedwrenchgarage2051]

I put the numbers in the comments

[@johncheney912]

You got a parts list with numbers for seals, bearings, and u joints???

[@bustedwrenchgarage2051]

I committed the numbers in the comments

[@moejr14]

How can I tell between Dana 50 and 60? I found a 2001 f250 with a good deal but idk if it’s a 60? Also why is the 2005+ axle better than the older models?

[@aceroutly5670]

30 vs 35 spline

[@moejr14]

@@aceroutly5670 inner or outer?

[@williamwaters5029]

Part numbers if you could. The dust seal would be great as it seems to be some mysterious part.

[@bustedwrenchgarage2051]

I have the numbers in the comments

[@Moon.dustin]

Great stuff! Instagram?

[@TheHaammer357]

Where can I get that caged needle bearing ?

[@dezmondkrause2329]

Thats what I want to know

[@jeffreybuerk9426]

Napa, any parts store just tell them any f250 inner spindle bearing, but not a super duty it's listed as a non serviceable part on a unit bearing, but they are the same bearing in dana 50 or 60 on the older front ends.

[@bustedwrenchgarage2051]

The numbers are in the comments B-2110

[@mallcrawleroffroad-brandon9298]

😬 dealing with the same on my 04 60

[@renegaderiders9289]

Full rebuild?

[@oregonfordguy9812]

dont need the outer hub seals if your not using the vacuum hubs.

[@Faolan161]

Yeah... $6.00 ball joints do NOT last. Any weight whatsoever in the truck, and they are shot in 6 months. Experience...

[@1331RECIPROCITY]

MAN I NEED YOUR HELP BAD I EONT HOLD YOU LIABLE FOR NOTHING BUT I NEED SOME ADVISE... I HAVE A 50 ON MY FORD EXCURSION.. I STRIPPED EVERYTHING OUT AXLE SEALS EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE BEARING ASSEMBLY AND I BOUT NEW ONES.. SO RIGHT NOW IM RUNNING ON NOTHING BUT MY BEARINGS NO INNER WORKINGS... I THINK ITS FINE HOW BOUT YOU.?

[@renegaderiders9289]

Should be fine as long as the hub bearings are fine and don't become contaminated. Would repair properly when possible.

[@1331RECIPROCITY]

Renegade.... thank ya.. for your reply... that means alot 2 me.. I'd like 2 leave it alone .. completely stripped down.. just remove the rest of the pumpkin gears.. he he hollow axle.. I have no need for a 4x4 or the stress of upkeep and maintenance... knock on wood I have no need for a 4x4.. if I do ill call a buddy or rent a rig...etc.. or get a running start at it.. haha.. anyways I'd like 2 leave it as is if I can get away with it... I can work on vehicles have been for 41 years.. but don't have much experience in 4x4 hubs.. thanks.
