What did you do to your Ram today???

[BowDown]

Its not a bad job, done it a few times 3rd/4th gens

 

[kapinallinen2]

I was gonna say that’s a awful lot of tools for a hub replacement lol

Had to throw everything I had at it, most of that stuff is SAE that I tried to make work with metric.
I do have a good collection but just needed some specific sockets that I could not find.

Must be a younger man, the first tool I get job for a job like that is a creeper seat. These old knees don't like all the kneeing and the up and downs. Might as well do the driver side while all the tools are out.

Pushing on 64...

It was a 10mm that you were missing, right???

This and an impact gun are your best friends on a job like that

Took a good 20 minutes to find a bit that fitted that torx screw lol.
But you are correct, it is pretty straight forward, wish I had a two post lift...

I have a baby food jar if 10mm and other small common, good quality sockets I pick up at flea markets to have extras.

LOL, not this time.
Out of all things, a 1/2" drive 18mm deep socket. I have a 3/8 drive one, could not find the 3/8 to 1/2 adapter to save my knuckles...

Luckily no need for that this time.
Everything came apart like a fairly new truck parts should...

Yeah, I learned the hard way about those torx bits and bought a set of Torx Plus bits.
Interesting that the caliper bolts are not reusable



I noticed that is also the case on my Z06 which I've reused a few times

I have more 10mm sockets than Lowe’s and HD combined 🫤 Just never where I left it when I needed it.

Not just the caliber bolts, upper and lower ball joint and tie-rod and I believe the half shaft nuts also.

My 10 mm sockets are all accounted for, by any chance you got a spare 8mm I could have?
Lost it in my 97` Expedition while replacing the radiator.

Now yall are just making up car parts.

What the hell is a half shaft???

Why would someone put half of something in my truck? And then charge me full price?

Well, one half of the shaft is on the passenger side and the other on the drivers side. If that makes sense...

Yeah, I saw those listed. Lots of single use bolts

Frigging nuts.
I must be old school, or no school...
Give me a torque number in pound feet or newtons, good with that.
Not a fan of "25 pound feet + 59 degrees of rotation" I can do it, but what if I am off by two degrees?

Just wondering.

 

[HSKR R/T]

I always have a hard time keeping 14mm sockets. But that's the most used size on my Dakota

Installed a Amazon light for under the hood. Looks good and lights up the area well, also a lot of good reviews on it.
