Looking ahead while I wait on some machine work, I want to service the front hub bearings since I have no idea how long it's been since its been touched. Thinking new parts while I am in there.

What at kind of tools am I going to need for that? The manual doesn't really show any bearing cup or oil seal presses that I can see but I would assume I need those?

Jack & jackstand
Screwdriver to pry cap off
Pliers to remove cotter pin
large wrench to remove nut that holds the bearing in place.

 

No special tools needed for front wheel bearing service on these old trucks. Drive the seal out and replace it. If you need to remove a race, a punch will work.

 

The seal is CR 17599, NAPA and just about everyone else stocks them.
