Default 91 Ram W150


I am trying to do the front wheel hub, rotor, and bearings. I have the caliper and wheel hub cap off and now just stuck how to get the rest undone.

Looks like that round thing with the notches in it in the middle is holding it on. Need some kind of special spanner wrench to screw it off.

You can get the socket for those 'nuts'....... there is two of them in there, the outer one, then a keyed spacer, and an inner. Take those three pieces off, and the whole rotor/hub slides right off.

this should be what you need. i wouldn't try taking those nuts off without the special socket. sometimes you can find the socket at local parts stores but they are starting to be a bit more uncommon

Be sure to tighten it right when you go back together!

You probably want to put a new tie rod in there, that boot is shot and it doesn't look like it has any grease ooozing out... Its screaming replace me...

I'm sure you will find other things like this that need to be replaced also! What do the axle u joints look like? Now is the time to replace them while you are at it.
