1994 Ranger xlt 4x4
I have a 1994 Ranger XLT 4x4. I am about to change the front rotors, bearings,seals,spindle bearings & seals. Converting to the warren Manuel hubs. Also brakes. I was needing to know if there are any trick or warnings. I do have the special sockets for axle nuts. Also all other basic tools to do the job. Do the axle seals need to be pressed on at a machine shop or can proper size pipe be used to carefully tap them on. Any comments would be appreciated.
 






You can tap in the bearing seals with a short piece of 2x4, it's easy. The bearing races you can also tap in yourself, although last time I had them pressed in at a shop.

Are you switching from auto hubs to the Warn hubs? You'll need the locking washer set that goes with them, I think what you're calling axle nuts. They are different from the ones for auto hubs. Also different is the socket to fit them, you'll want this type.
