HI, anyone got the instructions on how to replace the hub seal on a 350, 4x4, 2006? I checked the post and all I see is for trucks before 2006. The seal is not the same and some have suggested a seal install tool which does not work with the 2006, the shaft is bigger. My truck was built in late 2006.

Also, I have a yellow seal on it but Dealer gave me a black seal. He used the Vin number and this is what it says, black seal, is it a better seal?

Anyone have a good price on the big hub seal? I got one at the dealer for 58 dollars, and in Canada it will probably be close to 80 dollars at the stealer.

Thanks

 

Well, I guess I will have to dig something out myself, no answer.

 

I found this after a quick search

Vacuum Seal Removal 2006 F250 - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks, the guy used a PVC home depot fitting, I will go and check this out. I removed the seal by prying from behind the drive shaft dust seal, using brute force with two pry bars, seal is shot anyway.

I do not plan on changing the U joint, they are very solid, hope they do not go bad within a year, but I do not use the 4x4 a lot.
