Not too bad. Ratchet with a breaker bar on it. Oh and I hope you have a good spring compressor! I went with the 2.5" lift on the Eibachs and it's a $%#& trying to get the springs compressed far enough to get the top hat back on!
What kind of spring compressor did you use? I grabbed one from AutoZone's loan-a-tool program and it didn't fit my FX4 springs safely! LOL
I'm just doing the level, so wouldn't need to do that.
+1 on the axle nut removal. Makes things MUCH easier. The nut is torqued to
The axle nut is torqued to 220ft lbs....an impact makes it much easier but a nice breaker bar would probably work also.....just remember to replace the nut as its a one time use per Ford specs....I also replaced all the nyloc nuts when I did mine for piece of mind.
Great. Would you happen to have links to order them?
They're back ordered. Can't find them anywhere.
Thanks. Did you anything else or just those 2 nuts?
I replaced axle nuts, tie rod, ball joint and end link nuts....basically all the nyloc nuts I removed.
Did they actually have them in stock? I ordered replacements from another large fords parts supplier and they let me know at the time I ordered (in early June) that they were on backorder until July 15. Still haven't shipped....

They seem to have them now, but they don't ship here and it's $25 bucks to ship them to my Dads in Philly. What a pain in the ass.Did they actually have them in stock?

I reused all of my hardware with a healthy dab of blue thread locker. I figured in the future I would replace the hardware when it was accessible.
Yeah, I'm about to spend $70 for 2 axle nuts and I'm stuck waiting even longer to get my tires and level done, while filling used tires up everyday. It's pretty annoying. That's what I'll do with the rest of them.
