Project "Old Man Strength"

[TC4x4]

should need a hub nut socket for the 14ff rear . should be a 6 tab most all were this . the inner edge of the tabs towards the threads will be kind of rounded .

dana 60 front if its early it will be 6 tab and can use the same socket . if newer then its a BIG 4 tab . NOT the smaller 4 tab .

otherwise no other major stuff unless you need to change the king pin its self in the housing on the inner "C" .

Any tools for the seals, bearings, and gears? or anything else note worthy I'm forgetting...

basic tools you prob have for all that stuff . unless changing gears as in ring and pinion . if just pulling and checking and reinstalling dont mix up the bearing races side to side .

oh ya and the yoke on a 14ff is pressed on the tappered spline of the pinion . so that might be a press item . but my 20ton shop press dosnt know its on there pressing one off .

you prob wont need bearings or races inless water or junk got in . most the time clean and repack bearings and new seals . the 14ff is oil bath hubs NO grease .

Should have been posted here, so now here it is for the record. I'll get some pictures up shortly of the teardown of the Dana 60. (Not that there will be a whole lot of surprises, haha!)

The axle is about all torn down. Time to clean out a lot of the 35 years of crud out of the axle tubes. Not sure exactly what parts are going to be reused but I'll clean them all up. Time for a parts washer!
