I just bought a 86 DL 4 door sedan which needs rear brakes and wheel bearings. The problem is I can not find the new lock washers for the axle nut any help would be welcomed.

welcome to the board , i am also from ohio [ western part] were did you get the special tool , to remove bearing ?

4WD or 2WD? They are very different.

 

No special tools are required for either type. There is a socket for the 4WD rear bearing retainer ring, but a punch works fine generally.

86Sub, get a 1 1/4" 4 prong socket (used on Ford 4X4 front wheels) at Schucks for $14. Grind off two of the prongs and leave two on opposite sides. Works great for those rear wheels on 4x4 Soobs.

 

I need to get some of the lock washers before I tear mine apart the next time, too. I hope the stealership isn't the only place they're available. I can only imagine what they want for them!!!
