Hub assembly
I have a 92 F150 4x4 that I just replaced front axleshaft universals in. I put everything back together and the drivers side wheel sounded like it was grinding badly when driven. I took the assembly apart again and put it all back together and the problem stopped for about a week, but then started all over again. What could be causing this?

Ethan9,
Was curious, what did you use to remove the spindle on your Dana 44? I'm curious since I wasn't able to pry mine off after 17 years.. It was a real tear-jerker not being to change the U-joints out.
I assume that when you said, "..I just replaced front axleshaft universals.." you meant you completely dissassembled the hub and/or rotor and then removed the spindle to get to the u-joints.
I see everyone pointing to a "Spindle puller" on here, while other have managed to simply tap and/or heat and/or use a 2x4 and knock it out of the housing.. I wasn't able to, but I didn't have a spindle puller either.
If you didn't disassemble the hub and the spindle, simply disregard what I asked.

Sorry about the long lapse in replying lotta stuff going on haha. I found the source of the noise and it turns out I did nothing wrong it was a broken spring in the right rear brake. I just used a hammer and chisel to get the spindle off mine was tough too a hit the chisel with a 3 pound hammer for about ten minutes before it finally broke loose
