Front Wheel Bearing/Hub
I have a 2001 D2500 4X4 Diesel quad cab and want to change the left front wheel bearing/hub out and the oil seal in the axle housing. I have oil leaking from the end of the axle tube and would like to know what is involved in changing out the hub/bearing and oil seal. ( special tools, sockets for the wheel hub bolts, seal tools ect.) I did the rear wheel cylinders/brakes/axle seals last week. My manual doesn't illustrate the breakdown of the axle components very clearly. My brake rotors are not part of the hub, they are top hat style. These bearings/hub are originals with 400,000 on them. The job is necessary because the ABS sensor is pooched and I need to safety the truck. The wheel hub bolts look like some sort of military bolt head , not sure if it is torx. Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated.
