Wondering if any one knows what spindle nut tool is required and if the bearing needs to be pressed on or off from what i see it looks like it should slide on unsure Thanks.Phil

The tool is hard to find, I've never used one, make sure to remove
the 4 set screws before trying to remove the spindle nut, use an impact
driver too so you don't mess up the screw heads, they are on really tight.

The nut comes off with a little tapping with a hammer and punch or
chisel, but take it easy so you don't mess them up.

The bearings slide on and off, the races need to be knocked out with a
punch and hammer, make sure to rotate the hub when you put it back
together and torque the nut back down, I don't like the torque spec in the
Chilton's book, I just think it's too high, I just keep tightening until the hub
has a rolling resistance and call it good, I have over 275,000 miles on my
stock bearings so I don't see it as a problem.

Good Luck

WOW YOU MUST HAVE GOT A GOOD ONE Yeah I want to put it up a couple or 3 inches Ive already done 235's and that works real nice harder on gas though You seem to know your stuff what year is your rig??

My truck is an 89', I didn't see you have a 2002, I'm not sure how much
of what I told you will transfer over to your newer model, move forward with
caution or go get a newer book that covers your year.

I bought my truck new in 89' and have used it as a DD till about 5 years ago,
when my brother broke the news to me "your truck is a toy, not a daily driver anymore"
Since then things have gotten progressively more offroad oriented, to the point I don't
even drive it on the road anymore, tho it's still street legal
