Whoops!!! Yes, definitely forgot to clarify the back off part! Sorry about that! So, 50 lbs and back off 1/4 turn

Ok guys, I wanted to circle back on this. I replaced the bearings, races and the seals. For those of you wanting to do this, here is what you need (what red laid out but minus the knuckle kit and add the seal number.)

All Timken
387A inner bearing
382A inner race
SET38 outer race/bearing
415960 seal

I ended up with the skf 27452 for my seal due to a mistake in ordering but thankfully napa bailed me out. I did the bearing packer as well, works best if you buy a dedicated grease gun and get a tube of grease. I bought the timken tub so it was a little messy but very effective. All in all I'm glad we got it switched out.

Shouldn't those seals be flush with the hub?

Everything went back together great. New bearings, races, seals, rotors, hoses, pads and calipers! I swear this truck will be new soon

Hey Red, they were flush with the hub ring, tough to tell in the pic. Happy with how it all went back together, the PS was dry and close to seizing up so the change out was timely
