6.0 stock setup
Ok so I am replacing the drivers side front wheel bearing on my 03 f350 6.0. After removing locking hub and the brake assembly, i noticed some play in the axle spindle. So looking farther back where the axle goes into the housing I notice the "dust seal is shot. One of the questions I have is there a bearing assembly on the axle at the opening of the axle housing or is there just a dust seal???? If there is simply a dust seal I plan to simply install a new main wheel bearing.
I watched the removal of an axle on youtube and the mechanic diconnected the tie rod, tapped on the back side of the ujoint and pulled the axle out thru the center of the steering knuckle. My truck has some kind of dust cover not allowing the axle to be pulled thru. The ball joints seem good so I dont want to mess with em if I dont have to.
If anyone knows where I can get the bearing at a really good price I would appreciate it as well.
