I don't really have the money to do hubs and all at the moment, but the hubs themselves seem to be fine. I could inner and outer though if you think I should. Will I need a new rubber wheel seal for the inner?

Got the hub.. took a lot of prying and force, but she's off. Another question if you don't mind (sorry I'm new to all this). Should I replace both inner and outer bearings. Can't tell how good the inner is really, and don't really see how to take it out. Secondly, the "housing" for te outer bearing.. should I be using a new one? Seems to be in fine shape, and won't budge out of the hub

Don, No problem I could still read them just fine. I'm located in Joshua Tree California. No rust issues or anything. There does seem to be another "washer" in front of the bearing still. Nut came off, big washer with it, but another one seems to remain. Zero luck trying to get the second washer off. May be keeping the hub on?

Center nut has been off for awhile now, and the hub won't budge an inch out. I figured there was more to it. Is there a trick to pull it off?

Hey Don, Discovered this morning the driver side wheel bearing is junk. Trying to figure out how to take the old bearing out now and having trouble. Does the whole hub have to come off? The bolts for the hub are on the backside and not given enough clearing to get any socket or wrench in.

Well pretty quickly figured out this morning the front drivers side bearing is garbage. Metal shavings and all 😬. Seems to have happen out of nowhere. So now my question is. How the hell do I get the hub off to replace the bearing. Caliper, pads, etc are off. Seems like the bolts holding the hub on are almost inaccessible. They are on the backside of the hub/rotor, with almost zero room to get a socket in. Any advice? Do I need to take the hub off to get the wheel bearing out/new one in?

Also, I apologize I uploaded the wrong video. Getting the right one up now

I've been driving it for a month or so since the front end stuff with no issues, but I'll do a once over tomorrow morning. As far as lugs go I am missing one stud on the passenger side, but it still has 5. Would not having six really be that big of a deal?

Hey folks, got a weird one. 1985 720 RWD 176k miles While on the highway today around 45-60mph my truck started giving me a horrendous sounding/feeling clunk. It felt as if some force started on the front passenger side and would quickly move to the driver side and CLUNK and jerk the steering wheel to the left a bit. Honestly didn't think I was gonna make it home. Driving slow off the highway it gave me the clunk every other or so sharp left hand turn. I recently did ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar end links. Put on a new carrier bearing this morning as the old one was totally mangled and rotten. Any ideas what could be going on? It's a blood curtling sound/feeling.

I think that may have done it! Thank you. Good thing I went back there to the torsion bar bolts. Noticed my driveshaft carrier bearing is absolutely destroyed 🥴

Hey all, This may be elementary, but I'm pretty new to wrenching and would love some advice if y'all have it. Recently picked up an 85 720 in okay shape with 176k miles on it. Recently did tie rod ends, ball joints, and sway bar links. Put some new tires on and noticed feathering right away in the front. Went for an alignment and the tech said he did as best he could, but couldn't get her right. It's obvious from looking at the front end the passenger toe and/or camber is way off. Recommended a lift spindle? Looks to me that the upper control arm is pulling the whole thing towards the body, but the driver side looks fine. I'm not really sure where to start as far as fixing the problem goes. Front tires are wearing FAST. Also have photos, but not sure how to post em. Any advice would be extremely appreciated!
