simple front bearing question(s)
Hello all. I have a 2005 f350 PSD 2wd dually. My right front wheel bearing has gone bad. I was just wondering if I have to replace the whole hub/ rotor assembly or can I just put new bearings in it? If I can replace only the bearings does anone have a good way to get the dust cover off? Also besides the obvious (new bearings and grease). I figured if I could rust replace the bearing I would do them all. The truck just rolled over to 198,000 so far this is the only big problem it has given me besides an alternator.

I see no reason that you can't replace the bearings. When you do get seals, bearings
and races for each side. Also good idea to use a new cotter pin. You don't have to
get the parts from Ford you can also get them from Timken Bearings The Timken Company - Bearings, Alloy Steel, Power Transmission, Engineered Surfaces, Lubrication, Seals, Motion Control Systems, Services
One thing is use the factory installation instructions and not the old shade tree mechanic method.
They will last longer if you do it right. I have seen bearings go out faster if done the old way.
You may also want to check the rotor and pads and replace the pads and turn the rotor.
That can save you a little time.
The job is really not that hard and can easy be done in a day if you have all the parts. If you need some
help just ask. Doing bearing the first time for some can be fun. Once you have done it you will wonder just
why you ever paid anyone to do it before. Like I said ask for help if you need it. There should be some
Youtube videos on how to do the job.

Have a look in the 60.L tech folder first. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/3...ch-folder.html
I could not find the details on the job. You can try to Email this guy
Welcome to guzzle's Ford PSD Maintenance Web Page
and see if he has something. The other option is go to ALLDATA
and get a 72Hr access. Download what you think you will need.
I can try and do a bit more digging. Also check your local library reference
section for a service manual for your year.
