I have a 2006 f350 and it needs two new front hubs. it is 4 wheel drive with auto matic locking hubs. I was wondering where the best place to get new ones and also what specialty tools are needed if any. thanks for any info on this matter

Just remove the 3 torx scerws and they pull right out. You my have to use a screw driver to slightly pry them from sealing surface.
I do not know of aftermarket hubs. The stock ones are plastic caged. They sure do not look strong. But they work.

The gears inside the hubs are held in by plastic. Like an external exhaust filter on a shop vac. (HELD IN PLACE BY A PLASTIC CAGE).
