FOREWORD
This manual is divided into five volumes: 1 - Chassis, 2 - Engine, 3 and 4 Electrical and Body, 5 - Maintenance and Lubrication. These volumes should
provide Service Technicians with complete information covering normal service
repairs on all 1971 model trucks built by the Ford Companies in the U. S. and
Canada. As changes in the product occur, this information will be updated by
Technical Service Bulletins. When issued, TSB information always supersedes that
published herein.
Within each volume, information is grouped by system or component plus "General
Service" parts which contain information which is common to several similar
components.
The table of contents on the first page of each volume indicates the general content
of the book and provides a handy tab heater to make it easy to find the first page
of each "Group". That page will contain an index to "Parts" and the first page of
each "Part" contains a detailed index which gives page location for each service
operation covered. Page numbers are consecutive in each "Part".
To make reference easier, information has been broken down into smaller units so
that essentially there is now one "Part" for each component or system. Group
numbers indicate the volume in which the group may be found.

FIG. 1
Typical Truck Rating Plate and Vehicle Certification Label
The Vehicle Certification Label
(V.C. Label) is attached to the rear
face of the driver's door. The upper
half of the label contains the name of
the manufacturer, the month and year
of manufacture and the certification
statement. The V.C. Label also
contains the Vehicle Identification
Number.
The remaining information codes
on the V.C. Label are the same as the
Truck Rating Plate Codes (Fig. 1).
Vehicle codes shown on the Truck
Rating Plate are explained in the
following paragraphs.
RATING PLATE
Figure 1 illustrates a typical Truck
Rating Plate. On light and medium
cowl and windshield vehicles, the
Rating Plate is mounted on the right
side of the cowl top panel under the
hood. On stripped Parcel Delivery
vehicles, the rating plate is placed in
an envelope and included in the Boxed
Items parts. On Bronco models, the
plate is mounted on the inside panel of
the glove compartment door. On all
other vehicles, the Rating Plate is
mounted on the rear face of the left
front door.
VEHICLE WARRANTY NUMBER
The Warranty Number is the first
line of numbers and letters appearing
on the Rating Plate (Fig. 1). The first
letter and two numbers indicate the
truck model and series (the letter
prefix identifies the type of body or
cab and the numbers are the first two
numbers of a truck series). The letter
following the truck series code
designates the engine identification
code. The letter following the engine
identification code indicates the assembly plant at which the vehicle was
built. The remaining numbers indicate
the consecutive unit number. The
charts that follow list the various
vehicle warranty number codes.
VEHICLE DATA
the Vehicle Data appears on the
Rating Plate on the two lines
following the Warranty Number. The
first three digits under W.B. designate
the wheelbase in inches. The one or
two letters under COLOR identify the
exterior paint color (two letters
designate a two-tone). The letter and
three digits under MODEL designate
the truck model within a series. The
letter and numerals under BODY
designate the interior trim and body
type (the letter identifies the interior
trim scheme and the numberals
identify the body or cab type). The
transmission installed in the vehicle is
identified under TRANS by either a
numeric or alphabetical code (if two
symbols appear, the first identifies the
auxiliary transmission, if so equipped,
and the second symbol identifies the
main transmission). A letter and a
number or two numbers under AXLE
identify the rear axle ratio (when
required, a letter is also stamped
behind the rear axle code to identify
the front axle capacity). The maximum
gross vehicle weight in pounds is
stamped under MAX. G.V.W. Following MAX. G.V.W., the horsepower

DESCRIPTION
STEMCO SEALS
When servicing wheel assemblies
equipped with Stemco seals any special
tools refered to can be obtained only
through a Stemco Warehouse Distributor. Refer to Specifications at the
end of this Part to determine tool
requirements.
Stemco wheel seals are a Regular
Production Option for 1971. They will
be available for both front and rear
wheel application on medium and
heavy duty trucks, except on medium
trucks equipped with 5000 or 5500
pound capacity axles. When used on
the front wheels oil is used for
lubrication, and just a coating of long
life lubricant is required. Rear wheel
bearings also use oil but must be
packed with long life lubricant
(ESA-M1C75-B) before installation.
Wheel bearing adjustment procedures
are not changed. Sectional views of
both front and rear seal installations
are shown in Figs. 1, and 2. An
exploded view of the Stemco front
wheel hub and components is shown
in Fig. 3. Reference to these illustrations should assure a satisfactory
installation.

between the oil level line on the hub
cap and 1/4-inch above the line.
5. Pack the inner bearing cone
with M1C75-B and position it in the
bearing cup.
6. Position the oil seal at the
mouth of the bore and drive it
squarely into position using the correct
tool. The seal must be evenly
bottomed.
7. Take special care not to
damage the oil seal while installing the
wheel.
8. Fill the wheel cavity with oil
before installing the outer bearing.
9. Pack the outer bearing with
M1C75-B and install it and then
adjust the bearings as outlined in Part
11-11, Section 3.
10. Inspect axle shaft gasket
mating surfaces for nicks, burrs, and
dirt; then install the axle shaft.
11. Check the rear axle lube level
and add oil if required.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
WHEELS
Wheel stud nuts should be inspected and tightened in the first 500
miles, to avoid accidental loosening of
the wheels. Loose wheel stud nuts may
cause shimmy and vibration. Elongated stud holes in the wheels may
also result from loose stud nuts.
Keep the wheels and hubs clean.
Stones or lumps of mud wedged
between the wheel and drum will
unbalance a wheel and tire.
Check for damage that would
affect the runout of the wheels.
Wobble or shimmy caused by a
damaged wheel will eventually damage
the wheel bearings. Inspect the wheel
rims for dents that could permit air to
leak from the tires.
Inspect the tire treads, and remove
all stones, nails, glass, or other objects
that may be wedged in the tread.
Check for holes or cuts that may
permit air leakage from the tire, and
make the necessary repairs.
Inspect the tire side walls for cuts,
bruises, and other damage. If internal
damage is suspected, demount the tire
from the wheel for further inspection
and repair or replacement.
Check the tire valve for air leaks,
and replace the valve if necessary.
Replace any missing valve caps.
On F-100, 250, 350 and Econoline
models, it is important that the front
tires and wheels be balanced.
Fig. 4 describes common tire wear
conditions.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
TIRES
The tires should be checked
frequently to be sure that the air
pressures agree with those specified for
the tires and vehicle model.
Wheel bearings are adjustable to
correct for bearing and spindle
shoulder wear. Satisfactory operation
and long life of bearings depend on
proper adjustment and correct lubri-
cation. If bearings are adjusted too
tightly, they will overheat and wear
rapidly. An adjustment that is
excessively loose will cause pounding
aiH contribute to uneven tire wear,
steering difficulties and inefficient
brakes. The bearing adjustment should
be checked at regular inspection
intervals.
Front hubs and bearings should be
cleaned, inspected and lubricated
whenever the hubs are removed or at
the mileage/time periods indicated in
the maintenance schedule.
New hub grease seals should be
installed when the hub is removed. An
imperfect seal may permit bearing
lubricant to reach the brake linings
resulting in faulty brake operation and
necessitating premature cleaning or
replacement of linings.
Bearing adjustment is described in
Part 11-10.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
Light Vehicles
Removal
1. Pry off the hub cap (if the
vehicle is so equipped), and loosen but
do not remove the wheel stud nuts.
2. Raise the truck until the wheel
and tire clear the floor.
3. Remove the wheel stud nuts
and the wheel and tire from the hub
and drum.
Installation
1. Clean all dirt from the hub
and drum. The replacement wheel and
tire must be clean.
2. Position the wheel and tire on
the hub and drum, and install the
wheel stud nuts. For proper balance,
line up the notch on the drum with
the valve stem on the wheel. Tighten
the stud nuts enough to hold the wheel
firmly in place. Always tighten
alternate nuts to draw the wheel
evenly against the hub and drum.
On dual wheels, be sure to back
off the outer nut before tightening the
inner nut. Then tighten the outer nut.
Some dual wheels have mounting bolt
holes which are alternately flared
inward and outward. These surfaces
must be mated when the wheels are
mounted.
3. Lower the vehicle to the floor,
and tighten the wheel stud nuts to the
specified torque. On a new vehicle,
and each time a wheel and tire is
installed, the wheel nuts should be
checked for tightness. When installing
the hub cap, notice the wheel nubs.
The hub cap should be positioned on
the wheel over one of the retaining
nubs and the two locating nubs. Be
sure that the lip of the hub cap is
firmly seated in the groove of the
retaining nub, and then force the cap
over the second retaining nub. Any
other procedure necessitates heavy
pounding with possible damage to the
hub cap.
Medium Vehicles
Removal
1. Loosen but do not remove the
wheel stud nuts.
2. Raise the vehicle until the
wheel and tire clear the floor.
3. Remove the wheel stud nuts
and the wheel and tire from the hub
and drum.
Installation
1. Clean all dirt from the hub
and drum. The replacement wheel and
tire must be clean.
2. Position the wheel and tire on
the hub and drum, and install the
wheel stud nuts. For proper balance,
line up the notch on the drum with
the valve stem on the wheel. Tighten
the stud nuts enough to hold the wheel
firmly in place. Always tighten
alternate nuts to draw the wheel
evenly against the hub and drum.
On dual wheels, be sure to back
off the outer nut before tightening the
inner nut. Then tighten the outer nut.
3. Lower the truck to the floor,
and tighten the wheel stud nuts to the
specified torque. On new vehicles, and
each time a wheel and tire is installed,
the wheel nuts should be checked for
tightness.

Drop Center Rim
FU57-A
The tire must be completely
deflated before removal, and the bead
must not be damaged by a tire iron.
After installation, a tube tire
should be inflated to recommended
pressure, deflated, and then inflated
again to insure that the tube is not
folded inside the tire. Be sure the tube
flap is properly positioned before
inflating the tire. On F-100 and 250
series, it is important that each front
tire and wheel be balanced.
When installing tires on vehicles
equipped with Safety Ledge rims,
thoroughly lubricate the tire beads.
Inflate the tire until the bead seats
against the rim of the wheel, then
deflate to the specified pressure.
TIRE REMOVAL AND
MOUNTING—DROP CENTER RIM
Removing Tire From
Wheel
The drop center rim (Fig. 3) is
used for either tube or tubeless tires.
1. After completely deflating the
tire by removing the valve core, loosen
the beads, and force them into the
drop center of the rim.
2. Using a pair of tire irons, pry
the wheel out of the tire.
Mounting Tire to
Wheel
1. After inspection and cleaning
of the tire and wheel, install the valve
core in the inner tube and inflate the
tube until it is barely rounded out.
2. Position the tube in the tire,
soap the tire beads, and force the
bottom bead into the drop center.
3. At a point on the wheel
opposite the valve, insert a tire iron
between the top bead and the rim,

TIRE REMOVAL AND
MOUNTING—TWO-PIECE
SEMI-DROP CENTER RIM
The two-piece wheel uses a
continuous slide ring which has two
cut- outs directly opposite each other
and a single tool notch located
approximately 45 degrees from one
cutout (Fig. 6). The cutouts enable the
con tinuous slide ring to be installed
on the rim without deforming either
the ring or the rim.
Removing Tire From Wheel
1. To remove the ring, be sure the
tire is completely deflated and both
beads are broken free from the rim
(Fig. 7). The slide ring is ready to re
Removing Tire Upper
move if it is loose and rotates easily in
the rim gutter.
2. Locate the tool notch in the side
ring and insert a rim tool or a long
husky screw driver in the notch. Pry
up with the tool making sure the
opposite side of the slide ring is fitting
into the rim gutter (Fig. 8). On ve
hides with a split side ring, locate the
tool notch and follow the instructions
outlined above for the slide ring. Do
not bend the ring.
3. Insert a second tool under the
slide ring and work in a counterclockwise direction from the tool
notch to disengage the ring from the
wheel. With the split side ring, pry off
the ring with a rim tool.
4. When the tools reach the slide
ring cutout, the ring will usually
spring off. If necessary, a light tap
with a mallet will free the last half of
tne ring after both cutouts are visible.
5. Force the tire upper bead into
the valve slot. Then, pry the opposite
portion of the bead over the edge of
the rim with tire tools (Fig. 9).
6. Turn the wheel and tire over.
7. With one portion of the bead in
the rim well, pry the opposite portion
of the bead over the edge of the rim
(Fig. 10) and remove the tire from the
rim.

6. Insert a rim tool or large screw
driver in the tool notch and pull the
ring on and down toward the rim
gutter (Fig. 13).
7. While pulling on the rim tool or
screwdriver, strike the slide ring a
sharp blow with a mallet in the area A
between the tool notch and the nearest
cutout. The second half of the ring
will now be started over the rim
gutter.
8. Remove the rim tool and
continue the mallet blows (Fig. 13),
start ing at the tool notch and progress
counterclockwise until the entire ring
is in the rim gutter. The ring will turn
easily on the rim after it is fully
assembled.
9. When the slide ring is completely seated on the wheel, inflate the
tire. The tire should be inflated in a
safety cage or with the use of a clip-on

DESCRIPTION
Three piece rims are non-demountable for disc wheels or demountable for cast spoke wheels. Fig.
1, shows a dual wheel sectional view.
Demountable rims for cast-spoke
wheels are secured by a land at the
back edge of each spoke, and a lug
retained by a stud and nut at the outer
edge of each of spoke.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
The tire must be completely
deflated before removal, and the bead
must not be damaged by a tire iron.
After installation, a tube tire
should be inflated to recommended
pressure, deflated, and then inflated
again to insure that the tube is not
folded inside the tire. Be sure the tube
flap is properly positioned before
inflating the tire.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
FRONT WHEEL GREASE SEAL
AND BEARING REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION AND/OR
REPACKING
Wheel bearing lubricant has been
changed from sodium base grease to
lithium base grease.
Sodium base grease is not compatible with lithium base grease and
should not be intermixed. Therefore,
do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first ascertaining the type of original wheel
bearing lubricant. Usage of incompatible bearing lubricants could result
in premature lubricant breakdown.
If bearing adjustment will not
eliminate looseness or rough and noisy
operation, the hub and bearings should
be cleaned, inspected, and repacked
with specified wheel grease. If the
bearing cups or the cone and roller
assemblies are worn or damaged, they
should be replaced.
Light Vehicle
1. Raise the vehicle until the
wheel and tire clear the floor and
remove the wheel and tire from the
hub. If the drums will not remove
easily, back off the brake shoe
adjusting screw so that the shoes do
not contact the brake drum. Remove
the grease cap from the hub.
2. Remove the cotter pin, nut
lock, adjusting nut and washer from
the spindle (Fig. 1, Part 11-02).
3. Remove the outer bearing cone
and roller. Pull the hub and drum
assembly off the wheel spindle. Then,
remove and discard the grease retainer
and the inner bearing cone and roller
from the hub. Remove all traces of old
lubricant from bearings, hubs, and
axle spindle.
4. Inspect the cups for scratches,
pits or cracks. If the cups are worn or
damaged, remove them with a drift.
Clean the inner and outer bearing
cones and rollers with solvent and dry
them thoroughly. Do not spin the
bearings dry with compressed air.

REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY
The rear wheel hub and brake
drum assembly is attached to studs on
the rear axle shaft flange by three
speed nuts. The wheel and tire mounts
on the same rear axle shaft flange
studs and is held against the hub and
drum by the wheel nuts. The rear
wheel bearing is pressed onto the axle
shaft just inside the shaft flange, and
the entire assembly is retained to the
rear axle housing by the bearing
retainer plate which is bolted to the
housing flange.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
REMOVAL OF AXLE SHAFT
The rear axle shafts, wheel
bearings, and oil seal can be replaced
without removing the differential
assembly from the axle housing.
Synthetic wheel bearing seals are
used. Removal and insertion of rear
axle shafts must be performed with
caution. The entire length of the shaft
(including spline) up the seal journal
must pass through the seal without
cutting of the seal element during axle
removal or installation will result in
early seal failure.

Wheel bearing lubricant has been
changed from sodium base grease to
lithium base grease.
Sodium base grease is not compatible with lithium base grease and
should not be intermixed. Therefore,
do not lubricate front and/or rear
wheel bearings without first ascertaining the type of original wheel
bearing lubricant. Usage of incompatible bearing lubricants could result
in premature lubricant breakdown.
If bearing adjustment will not
eliminate looseness or rough and noisy
operation, the hub and bearings should
be cleaned, inspected, and repacked
with specified wheel grease. If the
bearing cups or the cone and roller
assemblies are worn or damaged, they
should be replaced.

DESCRIPTION
On all the full-floating axle wheel
hubs with tap$red roller bearings, a
seal is installed behind the inner
bearing to keep the wheel bearing
lubricant from the brake lining and
brake drum (Figs. 1 and 2).
Two methods of wheel bearing
lubrication are used on the full
floating axles. The wheel bearings are
packed with wheel bearing lubricant
(C1AZ-19590-B). However, axle lubricant will flow into the wheel hubs
and bearings during vehicle operation.
On these axles, wheel bearing grease is
the primary lubrication for the high
bearings during extended operation in
a tilted condition. On these axles the
wheel hub is also vented through the
axle housing vent. The seal assembly
(500-9000 Series) mounts on the wheel
hub and seals on a wear sleeve (wiper)
which is installed on the axle housing
tube (Fig. 2).
The wear sleeves (500-9000 Series)
must be installed squarely on the axle
housing using the appropriate tools

(Fig. 3). Do not use heat on the wear
sleeves to facilitate installation. Use
the proper tool as shown in Fig. 3. The
sleeves are designed with flanges to
eliminate the possibility of installing
the sleeves backwards. Although
preservative has been applied to the
wear sleeve prior to packaging, a light
oil (SAE-10 or its equivalent) should
be applied to the wear sleeve to
facilitate assembly of the sleeve to the
axle housing. After installation of the
wear sleeve, the clearance between the
end of the wear sleeve and inner wheel
bearing shoulder should be 0.010 to
0.025 inches (Fig. 2).
The seal assembly is to be installed
in the wheel hub. The garter spring
should be checked to assure the spring
is in the spring groove behind the
primary seal lip after the seal is in
position. Before installing the wheel,
apply grease (C1AZ-19590-B) between
the lips of the seal.
The wheel bearings must be
thoroughly cleaned and repacked with
lithium base grease (C1AZ-19590-B)
before installing the wheel assembly.
To prevent damage to the primary
and secondary lips of the seal
assembly, a locator sleeve or tool
should be used to guide the hub and
drum onto the axle. A new seal
assembly must be installed whenever a
wheel is removed.
