Removal & Installation (Forged Front "I" Beam Axle)

  1. Remove spindle from vehicle as previously outlined. Install spindle in a vise. On E150 models, use Reamer (D82T-3110-D0), Bushing Remover/Installer Driver (D82T-3110-B) and Driver Handle (D82T-3110-C) to drive bushing out of bore in spindle.
  2. On E250/350 and F250/350 models, use Reamer (T53T-3110-DA), Bushing Remover/Installer Driver (D82T3110-B) and Driver Handle (D82T-3110-C) to drive bushings out of bore in spindle.
  3. Each side of the bushing remover/installer driver tool is marked with a "T" or a "B". Use the side with the "T" stamping to install the top spindle bushing. Use the side with the "B" to install the bottom spindle bushing.
  4. Remove and discard the seal from the bottom of the top bushing bore. Remove and install the top spindle bushing first. Install the driver handle through the bottom bore.
  5. Position a new bushing on the "T" side stamping of the bushing remover/installer driver. The bushing must be installed on the tool so the open end grooves will face outward when installed.
  6. Position the new bushing and driver over the old bushing. Insert the handle into the driver and drive the old bushing out while the new bushing is driven in. Drive until the tool is seated.
  7. The bushing will then be seated at the the proper depth 0.080" (2 mm) minimum from the bottom of upper spindle boss. Using the "B" side stamping, repeat steps 5) and 6) to install the bottom bushing.
  8. Proper depth of bottom bushing is 0.130" (3.5 mm). Ream the new bushings to .001-.003" (.025-.076 mm) larger than the diameter of a new kingpin. Ream the top bushing first with the reamer tool.
  9. Install the smaller diameter of the tool through the top bore and into the bottom bore until the reaming threads are in position in the top bushing. Rotate the tool until the threads exit the top bushing.
  10. The larger diameter portion of the tool will act as a pilot in the top bushing to properly ream the bottom bushing. Clean all metal shavings and lubricate bushings and kingpins.
  11. Install a new seal on bushing remover/installer driver tool on the side with the "T" stamping. Install the handle into the driver and push the seal into position in the bottom of the top bushing bore.
  12. Reverse the remaining removal procedure to complete installation.
