I never overlook safety... truck is still on the road today with those brake pads, rotor and caliper. If you noticed the truck was on 3 ton stands. Being on the grass has nothing to do with anything... if you look close you can see there is board under each stand... I guess I don't see the point in your comments is all I'm saying. Thanks for watching!

No....not at all, I applaud the diy and do it as well, safety is my issue, working in the grass in an emergency ok, but for service never, proper torque is really important especially with brake service, and the parts I can't say for sure, but looking for bargain brake parts ? Not for me, so....there's my reply, ive been working on and building my own vehicles for many years, and encourage others to do the same, but never overlook safety

LOL Another guy trying to scare people into paying for things they don't have to... You probably work at dealer or worse yet run your own rip off shop charging people for your "expertise"
Dude please stop... LOL I will never stop until everyone knows that these jobs can be done at home....

Author mikejr662007 (1 month)
wow ! working in the grass ? using what appears to be cheap parts, not a torque wrench in sight ? I can't believe you guys are actually watching this and asking questions ! HERE is a pointer......DON"T TRY THIS AT HOME !!! just think about how great it would feel if one quarter of a 8-9,000 pound truck falls on you because you were stupid enough to support it on your lawn......dude, stop this please

No, I don't remember anything unusual I had to do.

Did you do anything special to remove the hub plate? Mine feels like it's being sucked back in.

Author edzgarage (6 months)
Mine gets 17 - 18 Highway and 13 - 14 City.
Pulling my 30ft camper it gets 10 - 12.
It's been a great truck too.

The axle fluid keeps them lubricated.

Author squarejsj (7 months)
Do the bearings that are in these floating axles need to be packed with grease like other bearings, or does the axle fluid itself provide enough lubrication ?

Author edzgarage (7 months)
If you're unsure use a torque wrench.

Author vwbeetleowner (7 months)
How do you know when you have torqed them down enough? Do you use a special extension?

Great Video, good editing for time, nothing really missed. only thing I would have done is replaced both calipers. Ill still give you two thumbs up. P.S. I Love my Single wheel drive, way less work on the rear rotors. Kudos!

You should of replaced those oil seals in the hubs and cleaned the bearings and the inside of the hubs soaked the bearings in oil before re installing......

The torque specs on a 250 with aluminum wheels is 85 ft lbs. Yours should be similar. I wouldn't go above 100 ft lbs. Also retorque them after about 50-100 miles of driving.

Author edzgarage (1 year)
I'm not sure what the torque spec is. Thanks for watching!

Author onefatbass (1 year)
Thanks for posting this... just started doing my 04' F-350 DRW and wasn't quite sure how to get to the rotor. :) I have the same Alcoa wheels that were on your video... what is the torque spec. for the lug nuts when I'm done? Many thanks...

It's probably pretty close, but I don't know for sure. Thanks for watching!

i have a f53 1992year model with 4 way discs, you think set up is kind of the same, i would like to have the rear rotors cut or replaced thanks

I guess you get what you pay for LOL 

Author kctyphoon (1 year)
this video would be much better if you actually showed HOW you did everything,, but still better than nothing, 

Author edzgarage (1 year)
Yes, if you loose a lot of fluid you need to replace it. That's why I mentioned you need to bias the truck back to keep from loosing the fluid.

Author godofwar09 (1 year)
Here is a question when you undo the bolts and you have to have the special tool to unscrew it the fluid that drains out is the rear differential fluid right ? So when new rotors installed it should be filled back up...

ok i have a question i have a 92 f350 7.3L dually diesel and it has rear drum brakes which i hate and i wanted to know how and if it would work to swap them out for disk brakes like yours would it be as simple as just replacing my drum with a disk and hooking the brake line to a caliper or would much more complicated work go into it if you happen to know or have and advice that would be great thanks

On the F250 the brake calipers and bracket are exactly the same. Two 19mm bolts hold the bracket to the axle and two 14mm bolts hold the caliper to the bracket. The Dually brake rotors are completely different though. On the F250 the rotor is only held in place by the caliper and the wheel, no need to remove the axle shafts or the entire hub (unless you're servicing bearings). At least your rotors don't weld themselves to the hub with rust :p

Author edzgarage (2 years)
Thanks for the comment! The inner seal was good so I just reused it. Still holding oil today.

Author Casper TG (2 years)
So what did you do about the hub seal? Spot on for the other stuff.

Author edzgarage (2 years)
I think you can, but the tire will be offset from the front.
