howdo you change the front axel of a dodge Dakota 2000 4x4
According to my Haynes Repair Manual for 2wd 1987 to 1996 Dakota only : tighten the spindle nut slightly (no more than 12ft-lbs). Then, while spinning the hub in the forward direction, torque to 20 ft-lbs to seat the bearings. Next, loosen the nut 1/4 turn. Finally, tighten the nut by hand, no wrench of any kind.Install the nut lock and cotter pin.
if you look in between the headlight and the turn signal there are two torque screws that have to come out and then it will just slide off
