F250, Dana 60

[@bigmountain7561]

Hi Simon, 40 plus years ago when I was turning wrenches for a living honestly I would have blown apart that front axle and replaced and rebuilt the whole entire unit. Parts were cheap and I loved ripping suspensions to pieces and not only rebuild but improve. I did it to my Elite and my Coupe deville. I know that the main premise of your channel is to work with what you have and I enjoy the silence and just the work. Oops and the cats. Great Videos Awesome Content Thank You 🙏

[@SimonFordman]

Thank you. I wish I'd have torn apart the axle in the first place, It would've made a lot more sense seeing how much repairs it'll need in the end. I rolled the dice trying to save time and money.

This is one of the best video`s I`ve ever seen. I graduated High School in 1981, I was a diesel mechanic for 5 years, then worked at a Chevrolet dealer for 2 years, I then joined the Florida Highway Patrol in 1989, I was a State Trooper for 30 years. I retired in 2019, now I do the same as you. When I have time, I love working on old trucks mostly. You appear to be young, for your age your knowledge and skills as a mechanic are amazing. I really love the 1977 Chevrolet square body truck, I would love to find one like that to drive and have fun with. Currently I drive a loaded 2018 Siverado. Keep those video`s coming.

[@gregarrell6132]

I loved this episode. Really satisfying. Reminds me of my teen age years, working on my 1952 FJ, 1963 EK Australian GM Holdens, my first ever cars. I was still inexperienced and earning only a small Apprentice salary. Even when I only cleaned off that oily crud that builds up and re-lubed the ball joints and tie rod ends, it felt good. Thank you Simon.

Very well done video. Remember buying my first 4wd socket. 45 yrs. ago. Owner of the truck said it didn't need to be torqued. I told him to get the F--- out of my garage. Then he tried to poor mouth me on the bill. I locked the doors and he called the cops. We went to court and I got a lot more than if he would have just paid the bill. I was actually trying to help the guy. You can't fix stupid. Your work is excellent for what you do and how you do it. You even used the right grease. Don't know where you got the differential but that extra work is costly. Change the other caliper when you do the seals. Its gonna be jealous. LOL

Hello Simon you make really, really good videos. It's always a pleasure to watch you. I'm a car mechanic in Germany and have been driving old US cars for a long time. Since I also have to deal with rust a lot, I bought a sandblasting machine to make the old parts beautiful again. That would be a useful addition to your work on the old vehicles.

One tip - tourque the bushings with the suspension at normal ride height, on the ground. 😊

I installed polyurethane bushings, which I don't believe require that. They rotate freely when torqued down, versus the rubber ones that are under constant tension if not in the right position.

😻 great video. One tip is that two hammers are better than one. Hold one big one on one side of the arm and hit the other side of the arm with the other. You can also try synchronous hammering both sides at once. The ball joints pop right out because the two hammers more effective deform the shape of the taper.

[@valuepack2]

Amen. My favorite is a hickory handled 5lb sledge cut down to 18" overall. Any longer is too big to swing in tight quarters, any lighter is ineffective.

Hello, armchair suggestion coming up 😊. If you're removing the whole assembly to do those seals, I thought you could consider bolting up the rear of the front leaf spring shackles first. As the two front ones are swinging, which may make it easier for positioning. Like I say, I'm sat here with a coffee and you're doing all the hard work. Obviously, you'll know what's best. Have a good day. As always, love your uploads.

The thin locking hub O-rings let in water which might be why those bearings were toast. And for transfer case wellness, I'd take the whole front prop shaft out for the time-being.
