2WD - Front Wheel Hub Assembly:
I have a 2001 7.3L 2WD that I need to replace the front passenger side wheel bearing / hub assembly. Maybe it's me, but for the life of me I can't find a part # for a 2WD 2001 Excursion. The search results seem to show 4wd front hubs.
I found 2WD front hubs for an F250 on Rock Auto - but when I check vehicle applications, I don't see 7.3L Excursion listed.
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...+assembly,1636
Summit Racing Timken HA590233 for F250
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/t...0233/overview/
Can I use the Timken HA590233or Moog 515100 F250 wheel hub?
Or can someone please guide me to a proper part # for a 2001 2WD 7.3L Excursion.
Also, seems I have the course thread wheel studs - 14x2.0 -- would that also mean I have course thread from hub to knuckle? Is this thread pitch to the knuckle something I have to make sure I have correct when ordering?
Thanks for any guidance.

You need these for the front it is a brake a rotor assembly: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=1036&jsn=1036
Outer bearing you will need two: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...72373&jsn=1085
Inner bearing you will need two: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...72373&jsn=1087
You will need to use Lucas Red and Tacky grease.

Great thanks!
They don't make a complete hub assembly for the 2WD front wheel bearings? Looks to me like I will need to press these bearings in?
I will search, but is there a write up / DYI for install.
Again thanks.

Here is a parts diagram and listing for the front rotors from a Ford dealer. You could use the part number and search around for the best deal. Avoid any Chinese or India made parts.

The bearings actually come right out. The inner bearing is held in by this: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...372373&jsn=990 You will need two of them and you can rent the seal driver from O'reilly.
The only way to get a hub assembly is to put F550 2wd front axle assembly in.
Once you take the brakes off and remove the caliper bracket, you knock the cover off, remove the cotter pin, undo the nut (24 mm if I'm not mistaken) and pull the rotor off.
To get the inner seal out you put the rotor on blocks of wood studs up, then you use a hammer and a wood dowel to tap on the bearing. The bearing will come out with the seal.
To install, pack the bearing with Lucas red and tacky, put the new rotor studs down, drop the new inner bearing in, put as much grease as you can around, then drive the seal in. you wan the metal lip of the seal flush with the lip of the rotor. You can almost use a block of wood to get it in but sometimes it pushes it in too far. Clean the axle stub with brake cleaner then grease, (don[t cut your hand!), then install the new rotor. Pack the outer bearing with grease before doing this as you'll need to put it on along with the rotor. Torque to spec and put the dust cap back on. The rest is pie.
