I am going to change both of the hub assemblies on my 99 f150 4x4 (12mm studs) because an idiot at a tire place tightened the wheels so tight he warped the hubs and I can't keep the rotors from warping. the hubs alone have .014 of runout. I am familiar with the procedure for removing and replacing them, what I need to know is what size socket I need to take off the axle nut and size socket for the hub bolts?? Torque for axle nut?

Thanks!

 

hrm, i thought it was a 32 - 33 mm.

i also think th eaxle was 32mm for the F150... the hub bolts are 15mm heads. dont buy a wrench at Wal Mart. Get a 6 point wrench like craftsman that you can smack with a 5 pound hammer or those three bolts wont budge. they may have loctite on them , some say heat will help, i only use the BFH. take the axle nut off and push the axle in an inch , that gives more clearance on the bck for the 15mm wrench.

 

IIRC the torque on the axle nut is something like 200-210 ft/lbs.
