Fig. Exploded view of the wheel bearing adjusting nut and related components-automatic locking hub shown
Loosen the wheel bearing locknut using a 2 3/8 inch (60.3mm) hex socket, such as Hex Locknut Wrench T70T-4252-B.
Fig. An oversize socket is needed to properly adjust the wheel bearing-automatic locking hub shown
Tighten the inner locknut to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm) to seat the bearings.
Spin the rotor and back off the inner locknut 1/4 turn (90 degrees). Retighten the locknut to 16 inch lbs. (1.8 Nm).

Remove offending
wheel and set park brake
extremely tight. Remove brake pads
from caliper, and then unbolt caliper. Release the park
brake. Unbolt the
heater supply tube. Remove six 8mm
hex bolts on the CV joint near the transmission. Remove axle. Remove four
bolts on outside of housing that hold the 2 bearing race retainers. Reinstall new bearing into the housing... again this will require
the EBS tool, and of course you'll have to rearrange the parts of the
tool.Once the new
bearing is installed, reinstall the bearing race retainers and the four screws
that hold the retainers. Carefully
reinstall the axle, making sure not to push the hub out of the bearing
again.Reinstall six 8mm hex bolts
holding the CV joint to the transmission. Reinstall
rotor then set parking brake extremely tight.Reinstall brake
caliper andl brake pads.Reinstall heater
supply tube and wheel,
torque wheel bolts to 96 ft-lbs,re-install transmission cover and suspension cover. Here you can find the quality parts http://www.carpartswarehouse.com/part/wheel-hub-bearing.html

If front disc brake rotor will not pull off, apply Rust Penetrant and Inhibitor D7AZ-19A501-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M99C56-A to inboard and outboard rotor/hub mating surfaces. Install 3-Jaw Puller 205-D027 (D80L-1013-A) or equivalent and remove front disc brake rotor by pulling on front disc brake rotor outside diameter and pushing on hub center. If excessive force is required for removal, check front disc brake rotor for lateral runout prior to installation. Refer to Section 06-00.
Remove anti-lock brake sensor mounting bolt and front brake anti-lock sensor (2C204) .
Remove and discard lower ball joint nut. Using Remover Adapter 211-211 (T96P-3010-A1), separate lower ball joint from front suspension lower arm (3078) .
Using Rotunda Spring Compressor 014-00781 or equivalent, compress front coil spring (5310) until lower ball joint clears front suspension lower arm .
Using Front Hub Remover/Replacer 204-069 (T81P-1104-C), Two Stud Adapter 205-237 (T86P-1104-A1), Metric Hub Remover Adapter 204-085 (T83P-1104-BH) and Front Hub Installer 204-067 (T81P-1104-A), press front wheel driveshaft joint (3B414) from wheel hub .

CAUTION: The front axle wheel hub retainer must be tightened to specification immediately during installation. If the retainer is not tightened immediately, the nylon lock will set incorrectly, leading to incorrect torque readings and bearing failure. Any front wheel hub retainer that is not immediately tightened to specification or is loosened must be removed and a new retainer installed.
Install front axle wheel hub retainer . Tighten to 230-275 Nm (170-203 lb-ft).
Install wheel and tire. Tighten lug nuts (1012) to 115-142 Nm (85-104 lb-ft).
Lower vehicle.
Pump brake pedal prior to moving vehicle to position brake linings.
Here is the easiest way . take a 14mm socket and extentsion and place it on the bolts and place againt your axle tube and start your truck and turn your wheel against it instead of pounding you will use your powersteering like a press to get your hub out its quicker and less strenous than pounding on the bolts ive done this many times i even made a extentsion for it i use a 14mm 1/2 drive shallow socket and a extension thats about 4 inches long i know im posting late on this one but if it helps anyone out then great
i just did a 2002 2500 4x4 with a dana straight axle and had no problem getting on the bolts with a 9/16 12 point socket on a 6 inch extension. If you do not use an extension the head of the ratchet will hit the yoke of the axle shaft.
