I'm replacing the universals in front axle(99 f350) and need to install new spindle hub seals, but haven't been able to locate the correct driver. Anybody have any suggestions on where to find the right driver. I would prefer not to spend a couple hundred dollars on a snap on kit that I'm only going to use once. thanks
thanks for the replies, I got'er back together. for anybody doing this, a lesson learned. there is a groove on the inside of the hub, just after the vacumn port for the 4wd, to use as a reference when installing the seal to the correct depth,when using the homemade tool shown in the post above. the front portion of the seal doen't go past that groove, if it does good luck trying to move the seal back out. I ended up destroying the seal and purchasing another. then borrowed the correct tool to install it to the correct depth. Also if you put the seal in the freezer overnight or at least a couple hours the seal installs very, very easy.
