In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the front drive axle on this '04 Dodge Ram, same as most of these '02 to '08 generation vehicles. Pretty easy, you need a 22 millimeter or 7/8 socket and lug wrench or, I'm sorry, a lug wrench or a socket and ratchet. You'll also need a 35 millimeter socket with an air impact wrench or a large breaker bar and pipe. First, you want to remove your wheel, if you're just using hand tools start with the vehicle on the ground, loosen lug nuts first, then raise it, secure it with jack stands and then remove the wheel. I've got air tools; I'm going to use them. These are either 7/8 or 22 millimeter. Both will work. So you'll notice here that the brakes are apart. You do not have to take the breaks apart. I was just filming this while I was doing a few different repairs. This only involves lifting up the truck, taking the wheel off and then removing and replacing the axle. You'll also notice that I don't actually replace the axle with a new one, because it wasn't bad on this vehicle, I was just doing the video so you can see how it's done. I'm going to take the hub nut off, and I've got a 35-millimeter impact wrench and socket. I've your using hand tools, you're going to have to lift up, take the lug nuts off, take the center cap off, put the wheel back on, and the lug nuts back on, then use your breaker bar and pipe. A little more difficult, a little more involved, but that's how you do it. I'll just get to it and use my impact wrench here. Okay, I hit it and it moved so it's free.
Now, what you want to do is get a pry bar and then go way up like that, and pull your axle right off like that. Hammer, and your axle is out. So now we're just going to take our axle, put it right up around here, feed it into the hub, turn it a little bit so we know we're matching it with the hub. Push it right in. I'm going to take my hub nut and using my impact wrench, just to get it on there, not really to tighten it all the way up yet. Now, I'm going to grab hold of my CV joint on the inside, pull it. So you go up on the top, pull your joint in as much as you can. Get it going onto the axle, and then push all the way on. Make sure it gets on there. So you're axle is back in. Put your wheel back up on and put the lug nuts on there without the center cap. Just put them on by hand first, and then I'm just going to tighten them up a little bit with my impact wrench, preliminarily. So your hub nut 185 foot pounds, my poor torque wrench only goes up to 150. So there's 150, 185. Now, I'll raise the vehicle back up, take the lug nuts off, put the center cap back on, and preliminarily tighten up the lug nuts. Let the vehicle back down and torque the lug nuts to 120 foot-pounds, using a star pattern.

In this video we're going to show you front axle replacement on this '98 Durango, same as any '98 to '03 and also '97 to '04 Dakota, four wheel drive. The tools you'll need are jack and jack stands, 14 mm and 32 mm sockets and ratchet, you'll either need an impact wrench or a large breaker bar or a pipe for leverage, 19 mm socket and ratchet or your lug wrench, hammer, pliers and a torque wrench.
I'm going to kind of fast forward through things here, this is taking the wheel off and then taking the brakes apart and a note on this for the axle, if everything goes like it goes in this video you actually don't have to take your caliper apart or your rotor off. You can skip that part but if you do find that your axle is stuck in your hub and you need to use a gear puller or an axle puller you may have to take your breaks apart. I'm just showing it to you. Also if you want to see this in real time just check out our Dakota and Durango front break video.
Secure my caliper up here with a wire tie and I'm going to remove this carton here. Usually the best way to do it is to break it as high up as you can and use a pair of pliers to squeeze it together as much as I can. Cap and spring washer come out. In this part we're going to remove the hub nut. It's a 32 mm nut and if you don't have air tools what you can do is you can put your tire back on, put the lug nuts back on, lower your vehicle onto the ground and then use a breaker bar and 32 mm socket, I have the benefit of an impact wrench so I will use that to remove the nut.
The bolt comes off and then there's also a washer in there as well. If you're lucky what you do is you take a hammer. If you give it one good rap and you just watch the axle in relation to the hub and you see that move then you're ok. You don't need to worry about using an axle pull or anything like that. Remove those six bolts right back in there, you can see them as they come around. They're not too difficult, you can reach them pretty easily from the underneath, right there and what you can do- I've got my bar on here and my wrench with my 14 mm socket and so I hold this while I pull on this one right here. It'll come off and then for the next one it'll come off and that's one way to do it obviously a much easier way to do it is with an impact wrench.
We're just going to speed through removing the rest of those bolts. Once you have the axle unbolted you can reach right in here, pull it back and down. Then as you get down here just kind of spin it and pull it back and spin it down and use your hammer, push it right out. You'll have to lift it up some and then there's your axle out. A good trained eye is going to notice that there's a new hub on there and that I'm actually installing the same old axle that is intentional. The reason I was working on this vehicle was to replace the hub but I figured I'd make an axle video in the meantime so that's why you see that.
Put your axle back in, you want to have your wheels turned slightly to the inside of the car, just allows you a good angle back here. Put your axle up in; guide the axle into the hub. Basically what allows you do see right here it's angled down. Having the wheel turned allows you to push your axle down and then pull on the CV and get it up and in, lined up. Start your six bolts. Now I'm going go in and tighten these bolts with my impact wrench. Now using my torque wrench and my bar to hold it I'm going to torque each one to 60 foot pounds. I'll put my washer and hub nut on and at this point I'm not going to tighten this all the up I'm just going to preliminary get it on there. I won't torque this until I have the vehicle down on the ground.
Tire back on the ground, I've got my torque wrench set to 175. Now I'm going to speed through this, we're going to put that cap back on, put a new cotter pin in there and bend it and then raise up the car, take those lug nuts off, put the center cap back on, put the lug nuts back on. Obviously, we're going to torque those to about 100 foot pounds and one other note if you did have to take your breaks apart make sure you pump your breaks a few times. Make sure they're working before you road test the vehicle. Let the car back down and now you can see here I'm going to torque the lug nuts again to about 100 foot pounds.
