Merc. is coming along, I was going to run the brake lines and fuel lines; have not fond a flaring tool around here to do stainless yet. May have to just suck it up and order one on line. Just did not want to spend $200 on one!
Morning Dave, Allen. Allen, might as well order it, then you'll always have it!
Tiny, what were you doing to the truck, looks like a new hub?
Both wheel bearing assemblies were failing. Ford (in their infinite wisdom) used a sealed assembly. The "hub" bolts onto the axle housing. Basically, I had to strip down the hub (bearing assembly, caliper, rotor) clean things up. Liberally lubricate all surfaces with grease and then re-assemble.
I went ahead and did my annual spring maintenance on the caliper slide pins, greased the front end and cleaned and lubricated the locking hub while things were opened up.

What about a local brake shop that you could "rent" one from?
