[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 977553, member: 61136"] The AZ de-greaser will do just fine. Just do a good wash. I admit what I still do is. soak them in a small pan of gas. Cuts the grease faster. Then I wash them with a degreaser cleaner. That washes all deposits. The gas allows me to use less degreaser. Im also cheap. I have a 99cent store that sells johnson 12oz brake degreaser...LOL Same as I find at some major stores. For less than half price. I would inpect the bearings and races. before buying at set. Good bearings that are properly lubed. Can last 100K. Be sure to smear new grease on the spindle and inside the hub. It will diplace moisture from heat and cool downs. Use new rear grease seals. May not be the correct specs for ford, but. Rule of thumb I use for tightening. Rotate the rotor and torque to 25ftlb. Back the crown nut off 1/2 turn. Rotate rotor Re-torque to 10 to 12inlb. Set the cotter key. You can back the nut off one slot to match cotter key keeper, if needed. [/QUOTE]
