Need Some Help!!!
I ahve an 87 f150 4x4 , this weekend I am going to repalce the front wheel bearings, This is my first time on a ford. I am wondering does the ford front axle have the wheel nut with "teeth" or is it a plain nut. Any idea on the size also?

You can try to rent the "spindle nut socket" from a parts store, I know we rent em for $6/day. I ended up buying one though (even though i could rent it for free 
) just cause i use it enough, and its more convenient that way. I think they're around $20

So you asked them for the socket to remove the spindle nuts and they told you to bring the nut in to match it up? 
Did you mention to them that you need the socket to remove the nut in the first place? It's also possible to remove the nuts with a screwdriver and a hammer. Just put the screwdriver in one of the slots and tap it counterclockwise to loosen it. That method tends to chew up the nut a little, but it would be a good way to get one off to bring down to match up with the socket.
