Wheel Bearings
I got a 91' F250 2wd with the 460 in it, I heard some squeelin goin down the road so my first though was wheel bearings. Well I pulled the outer bearing on the passenger side front and it's blued from the heat. How do I go about replacing it, I'm a total Ford newb but I could tell ya everything there is to know about my Dodge

There are two bolts on the backside of the caliper, one on each end. The are the bolts going through the caliper with the accordion looking rubber sleeve over them. Pull those and the caliper will pull off.

Sorry, I was thinking about mine. Looking at my chilton's, it says to use pliers to squeeze the outer retaining tab on the upper caliper pin flush with the side of the pin while simultaneously prying the pin in using a screwdriver wedged against the spindle and the inner pin retaining tab. Continue prying until the leading edge of the squeezed tab just enters the support groove. Repeat on the adjacent outer tab on the same pin. Once both tabs are disengaged, drive the pin in through the caliper/spindle groove until it is free using a punch. Repeat for the lower pin and lift the caliper away.
