Re: Front Wheel Bearing Wear From 4x4 Use?
First off, the correct matching ones. Everything being stock on your truck, the inner should be 603049 bearing and 603011 race, outers are all the same from 68-91 with a 501349 bearing and 501310 race. Clean quality hi-temp grease.... races in tight and fully seated. Torque the inner nut to about 50 lbs with the hub turning. Back off the nut till you can turn by hand, tighten by hand until it stops. Install locking washer as you line up the pin holes, holes are offset to the keyway, so you can flip the washer over. Install outer nut and tighten to about 85lbs or so. Done. Install locking hub and bolt on the wheel. Been doing it this way for 40 years, never had a problem. Good idea to check them about once a year if you do a lot of driving
