this is what ive found so far and it was for an 05 f350
WARNING Lightly coat the spindle and pack each rear wheel bearing with Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B.
Prepare the spindle for rear hub installation.
Slide the rear hub and brake disc assembly over the axle housing spindle. Remove the electrician's tape.
Install the outer rear wheel bearing.
Start the hub nut making sure that the tab aligns correctly in the keyway prior to thread engagement.
NOTE Apply inward pressure to the socket to separate the ratcheting components of the hub nut.
To adjust the bearings, tighten the nut to 70 ft. lbs. (95 Nm).
Back off the nut 90 degrees.
Tighten the nut to 18 ft. lbs. (24 Nm). To verify that there is no side-to-side end play, attach a magnetically mounted dial indicator to the spindle end and place the dial indicator tip on the outboard surface of the hub. Check for side-to-side end play. Final bearing adjustment has zero end play. The maximum torque to rotate the hub is 2.3 Nm (20 inch lbs.) when end play is zero.
Install the axle shaft.
Install the anchor plate.
Install the tire and wheel assembly

Ratcheting style for 69?
Is there a one piece ratcheting style locknut for the early 69 F-250 rear setup?
My issue is when I try to install the outboard nut, when it contacts the lock washer, the washer rotates with the nut and wipes out the lock tang on the washer.
I have thought about trying some red thread locker on the inboard nut, but it sounds like this ratcheting style would be much better.
Thanks for any help,
Lyle

dana 60 rear brake issues
Just clean and insp the bearing and races very well and then replace are required. And a good bearing repack and inboard seal replacement is a definite.
I am sure you do NOT want to be pulling the axles out again. Might as well double ck the rear brake cylinders for any sign of a leak and replace the rear brake shoes. Since you are that deep into it.
FYI rear brake shoes are side (left & right) specific.

I found this thread when I searched the forum..I'm also somewhat new to this dana 60 thing...I stuck a matching pair of them from a '79 F350 under my '59 F-100 awhile back and replaced everything in the rear brakes(working on one side at a time so I would have the other for reference) including wheel cylinders, hardware, shoes, even drums... after I have it all back together, I cannot get the rear brakes to adjust up...I jacked it up and ran the star wheel in while rolling the tire back and forth waiting for the brakes to start dragging...only one problem, they never did....the star wheel is all the way in and still no luck...I noticed in your quote above, you state shoes are side specific...would having these reversed cause the brakes to be that far out?? any help is greatly appreciated...its hard to stop 40's on front brakes only
