I have a 1998 F150 4 X 2. V6 4.2 Drum brakes in the rear.
I need to replace the driver’s side (right) rear wheel bearing. I have had some luck searching forums. This is for a 2004 f150.

It appears as though I need to remove the pumpkin cover, drain fluid, remove a bolt to rear axle (Being sure not to spin axles for alignment & replace bolt to temporally lock axle in place), then slide out axle to replace bearing. All well & good, but would this apply to a 1998 also? Going to parts store to hopefully get a Chiltons or Haynes manual & some tools to help out w/ this project now. Any help / pictures would be grateful as this is my first time replacing a rear wheel axle. (Front wheel disc is much easier, LOL) Thank you.

 

The link I provided sufficed quite nicely, and should provide great help to anyone doing this job on their own. My pinion shaft bolt is a 5/16" vs. 3/8" on his 04. About the only difference in the tutoriol he provided. I want to thank Quinton for the write up. He saved me a ton of money.
