2. Install 3 ring washer set. (1st Metal, 2nd Plastic, 3rd Splined) and retainer lockring on C-clip. It may be necessary to push the axle outboard from backside of knuckle. Be sure retaining ring is seated in groove properly.

3. CAUTION: Rotate moving cam stop (use any one of three) to the one o'clock position in relationship to the fixed cam retaining key.

CAUTION: Do not force body assembly into front disc brake hub on rotor if body assembly will not fit. Recheck alignment of all components.

NOTE: The hubs should not be packed with grease. Too much grease will damage the hubs.

Install body assembly into vehicle front disc brake hub and rotor by lining up the three legs outside the hublock body with the three pockets in the cam assembly.

4. Make sure body assembly is in far enough to see groove in rotor tube. Install large lockring into groove of hub. Be sure lockring is correctly seated.

5. Install cap to body assembly. Install three capscrews and tighten to 4-6 Nm (35-53 lb- in).

Manual or auto hubs. You are going tohave to be one heck of a lot more specific if you need help.

To remove hub, first separate cap assembly from body assembly by removing the six (6) socket head capscrews from the cap assembly and slip apart.
Remove snap ring (retainer ring) from the end of the axle shaft.

Remove the lock ring seated in the groove of the wheel hub. The body assembly will now slide out of the wheel hub. If necessary, use an appropriate puller to remove the body assembly.

Install hub in reverse order of removal. Torque socket head cap screws to 30-50 inch lbs. (3.4-5.64 Nm).

Is your F150 a Super Duty edition? If not then the hub and rotor is usually one assembly and is replaced altogether.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Need the socket to remove locking ring. see diagrams

We dont' have any info in the manual for pics and such. But I worked on Fords for many years. You probably have the manual locking so you 'll need to takeall your brake stuff off including the bracket if memory serves me right. Then in the pic i[m sending it will either bea large nut or one with holes in it and you will need to seeif there is a large washer bent over it or not if not you'll just need like the picture i'm sending, a lrge wrench or sometimes a chisel or punchworks to loosen the nut. Then remove the large washer and take out other nut. Then rotor assy should come off. Reinstall reverse, but make sure you don't tighten inner nut to tight or you'll ruin the bearing. Adjust that like a car, tighten to tight then loosen just a tad til washer will go back on to lock it then tighten outside nut.
