I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
An aside for anyone who is having troubles keeping axle seals, ie: blowing on a regular basis, check your diff vent.On mine it is tucked away safely by the fuel fill hose, and likely is still on the NBS trucks.This is the second and third time I've had seals go, but this time was both, so I checked my vent. It was clear, so may have just been that it was a lot of miles on them.Here it is, dropped down to clean up. There was a bunch of dirt on and around it, but not plugged up.
Good info here!You boyz had me all konfuzed with front (Sam) going to rear (Nate) back to Sam...But I hung in there.I don't have a ton of faith in those wheel bearings especially with a setup like mine where I have slightly offset (to the outside) wheels and larger tires. So far, so good, but I'm only at like 46,000 miles
That's why I picked up that F350 High Pinion king pin Dana 60 front axle...To make all that stock chebby suspension and steering and unit bearing stuff go away and get back to basics!

I have an LB7 I was thinking about SASing but I don't know squat about what axle to use. Its got a 12 inch lift on it now and I want it down to about a 6 inch with 35s and a SAS would be icing on the cake
Ahh, SD will never run,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Had to through that in Don. We have all been waiting and the DOTs are getting restless!! I can't be all bad, I did find you guys, right?Re-reading I saw where you use a breaker on the cv nut. I just hit myine with a air gun and they break loose easy. For torquing though, I just wait till I'm done when the wheel is on the ground and have a 3/4 bar for that.Oh, and I carry an extra hub. Got a cheapo for like $50, but when you need one you need one!!!
