Default Need some help with Bearings on a 2005 Ranger

I am changing out my bearing tomorrow on my 2005 ranger 4x4. I believe the bearing is 1 solid piece.

My questions are:

What size is the axle nut?

What are the torque specs for the bearing and axle nut?

Any help would be much appreciated or if somebody can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

32mm @ 162 ft/lbs

Its fairly easy, hardest part is actually separating the hub assembly from the spindle after the bolts have been removed.

Break the nut loose with the truck still on the ground. Remove the caliper bolts (2 at 15mm) and hang it up, take off the rotor, remove the end of the tie rod end, 21mm castle nut I think. Then 3 15mm(I think) holding the hub, and unplug the abs sensor wire. If its 4x4, knock the cv shaft loose and work on separating the hub.

This might help. Instead of pressing the ball joint you are removing the knuckle and unbolting the bearing
