I snug them with the impact and then torque them with a wrench. I'm not taking the time to put all of them on with a 4-way.

you spin the 4 way, its fast, faster than a ratchet, not as fast as a gun

I know but I only have to do half a turn with the ratchet on each one. The impact takes no time at all.

That's not dry rot, that is the adhesive. Look at the new seal. There is a red adhesive on it. Use brake cleaner. Don't repack them, just get some diff fluid on them. The Fords don't have sealed bearings o you don't use grease. They are fed with diff fluid from the axle housing so you don't want to clog up that system with grease. Just put some diff fluid on them so they don't run dry before the diff fluid from the axle housing gets up to them.

It's not the gun setting that limits the torque, it's the torsion of the torque stick.

He's saying most places don't have torque sticks. I've never seen a place that used them.

I worked at Dunn Tire when I was in high school and they had them. Belle Tire and Discount Tire here in MI have them so I assumed every tire store had them. Guess they don't use them on the east coast.
