Rear Axle Identification
How can I tell if I have a Dana or a Ford 10.5 rear axle on my 1999 F250SD?
My repair book has different instructions for each regarding seal replacement. I suppose I will find out once I start the work, but thought I might ask here. Helps to go over the appropriate instructions before I start.
I also need to order the tool to remove the ratcheting nut. Seems like many people have found the outside diameter of the tool slightly too large and have had to dress it down with a grinder. I wonder if that's because it works fine on one of the axles, but not the other type.
Any advice? Thank-you.
