OBS ford dana 50 TTB/IFS full dis-assembly complete guide

[@dcp4988]

By far the best Dana 50 TTB disassembly and assembly on the interwebs. Wish I had done this last year when I was "working" from home. But will tackle it soon.

[@DoyleHargraves]

I had many OBS fords. The front suspension was always a fricken nightmare. Those 4wd brake rotors alone are crazy.

[@BuildSomethingAuto]

Very thorough! Not a lot of information on these front ends available so its good to see a full disassembly to see how they work.

[@fuelishgarage6587]

thank you means a lot I'm gonna have a assembly video posted tonight make sure you check it out!!

[@SuperAsianDude1]

wish i could bring my truck and have it servied from someone like you who actually knows how to work on these.

[@dankean8319]

Great video! I have 86 f250 6.9 idi , I’m working on front axel and it’s my first time doing this. This was a great help, Thank you!

[@elijahgray3497]

Great video man. My 1990 f250 hub blew off the other day. Truck was driving perfect no vibrations, noise, shaking. Then after im leaving the gas station it felt like all my lug nuts were loose. Limped it two blocks to my shop then boom. Wheel flys off with the rotor and hub still bolted on. So needless to say this video is coming in handy.

[@fuelishgarage6587]

glad I could help out

[@MCatwar]

wow! this was a great video. Great camera quality, too! I just recently bought a 97 250 and I'm doing a whole front end on it. I think I'm gonna try doing the ball joints without taking the third member out, because my seals don't leak to my knowldge. honestly, even if they do, it's no worry because I always keep up on fluid levels. I was mainly worried about the 4wd hub, but upon further inspection that looks stupid simple to do! everything onward just looks like regular repairs. Thanks so much!

[@fuelishgarage6587]

that's why I made it clear up any confusion on these front ends so I'm glad it was helpful

[@MCatwar]

@@fuelishgarage6587 yeah. since I commented I've ripped the entire front end apart. I'm doing U joints, ball joints, spindle bearings, wheel bearings, brake rotors, pivot bushings, shocks and steering, and I'm almost done with the driver side. Disassembly of my manual hubs was a little different than this, but it was easy so far. Same goes for pressing out the wheel bearing races! My 330k mile 97 will be driving smooth after all the new components! Later down the line I'm also going to do a new steering shaft and box, cheers!

[@fuelishgarage6587]

@@MCatwar right on man keep grindin, I've noticed that there are different locking hub setups mine is a 1993 so

[@selador11]

I watched the whole thing. You didn't miss anything at all. Good job, kid! Subscribed!

[@DrStudly]

Going to be doing my truck next weekend, thanks for the video man! Very informative and straight to the point, once again thank you.

[@angleturner]

Very thorough, thanks for explaining EVERYthing as you go. Unlike most every other video on this on here.

[@calebbearup4282]

I watched it because it said full disassembly, I need to replace the axle support arms and was hoping you'd be removing those too because it was advertised as removing everything. But alas, I'll keep looking for another video. Very informative for what it was though. Thanks for showing so much

[@AD_fj]

Great video No body can do this job in my country Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Now i will do it at home

[@AdamBotha]

I wish nothing more than to meet the man with a 90s ford in Saudi, are these somewhat popular over there? How did you get it? I have so many questions haha

[@codymoncrief8478]

If you don’t have a spindle puller, careful use of a 4 lb dead blow mallet (the orange ones) can be used to gently walk the spindle out by bopping it left-right. BE GENTLE

[@jeansimoneau5464]

I wish you had shown how to pull the pinion out of the differential. Thanks for the video. It will be helpful.

[@zoroluva]

Great video. Be glad your u-joints weren't seized in their caps... Had to break out the cutting disc!!!

[@rogercarrico4975]

Good thorough information. Appreciate you making this. I have this axle in my truck. 👍

[@fuelishgarage6587]

Thanks 👍

[@johnedge2282]

Need to see more about the three washers behind the snap ring. Mine didn't have the two 4 pin nuts in it.. complete disassembly of the hub insides would be great.

[@ernieduncan602]

Noob here, I can't seem to find a concrete answer on this, are the terms "IFS" and "TTB" are referring to the same OBS front 4x4 setup?

[@andrewzinner9178]

This is perfect. Im doing mine next week.

[@DoyleHargraves]

I had a 94 f250. I had to replace the front leaf springs at 12 yrs old. They were just losing spring. I bought new ones from LMC

[@terrellscaife2411]

Totally cool video looks like it’s a lot more work than the nearest super duty design

[@terrellscaife2411]

Meant to say newest super duty design

[@TheRobo46]

Is this basically the same procedure for my 1984 F250 (light duty) Dana 44 TTB HD? Thank you, great video

[@fuelishgarage6587]

I believe most of it is the same just smaller

[@jamessoutherland6179]

I need to do the same to my truck , is there anyway you could create a parts list

[@chriscraft4236]

Hey great Vid ! two questions , Was it worth it as opposed to going the Dana 60 conversion? The spindle removal tool WOW I need that, where did you buy it? Ive had several of these trucks with the Dana 50 never found the love of the 50 but I never did a full rebuild thats why I ask was it worth it. Thanks!

[@mattpalumbo275]

I have a 95 f250 with the Dana 50 and my hub is loose but haven’t ripped it apart to see if those nuts are what’s causing it to be loose but my question is do they sell them anywhere with rotor already attached or are they separate and where can I find them I’m new to these trucks any help would be greatly appreciated

[@jett-rampartflyer2852]

What do you do for putting the split shaft metal clip back on, around the rubber boot? Im assuming they dont sell those at the parts stores..

[@beechermudmowers5397]

This is exactly what I needed thanks a lot!

[@kensauve9145]

good day please make more video so the young people can learn

[@fuelishgarage6587]

yessir will do I will be focusing on the channel full time soon and thank you

[@briansikes3865]

This looks like a great time to do the pivot bushings. Have you tried replacing those on a Dana 50 TTB?

[@fuelishgarage6587]

I'm gonna order some up and put them in, I'll post a video. They are actually easy to do with the truck put together but I noticed they were bad when I was under there and can feel the pull on the highway. Ordering the polly ones.

[@chrisward3918]

is there only 1 wheel barring? also is it normal having a integrated hub and rotor

[@The_Real_Jammy]

on my 1990 f-150 4x4 it was a 2 piece rotor and hub so I put a new rotor on the old hub and there is a bearing in the hub and another on the inside or outside I don't remember

[@bignick3303]

Can you post part numbers please. Thanks

[@christophere5130]

Excellent video!

[@fuelishgarage6587]

thank you so much. I'll have the assembly video posted soon!!!

[@Angel-nx3ds]

What was the part number for the seal you replaced at 12:26?

[@ashtonmariefranklin725]

Awesomeness now we now how to fix that inner stub shaft seal. We might as well do both sides and replace the ujoint even thought it seems ok. But still why not since will have it out.

[@fuelishgarage6587]

lol I pulled it apart cuz the diff was leaking and ended up replacing everything since its pretty inexpensive and my driver side u joint was toast

[@Cesarcelio24]

Why didn’t you do the bearing inside the diff? The ones on both sides? Just wondering since I’ll be doing the job pretty soon

[@fuelishgarage6587]

I would if I had the money for a locker and the main reason I did this job was because the diff was leaking, I didn't replace them because my truck is fairly low mileage and I bet hasn't been driven in 4x4 all that much but they didn't make noise before I tore down too. I like the way you think tho replace while your there so you don't have do it again

[@ShelbyBikeBoy]

Can you do a video on the old black Celica back there! Is she for sale?

[@fuelishgarage6587]

I have a video of replacing the clutch in it go check it out and I would sell it yea

[@godfathergaming980]

I am doing leaf bushings in the front cannot get my spring to line back up with shackle and help would be awesome

[@steamaccount117]

Which end did you put in first because I would recommend putting the rear in and also cutting out a little bit of the shackle right where it hits the frame so it can turn go back farther

[@godfathergaming980]

@@steamaccount117 i figured it out had to take out pivot pinion bolt and jack it 10 different ways was not easy but my God does that side sit nice now! I'll record the other side and post how I did it.... it was Jimmy rigged but worked.... didn't even take the tire off

[@godfathergaming980]

@@steamaccount117 also could used 3 jacks had 2 lol

maybe separate the leaf pack from the ttb arm
