From what I have read That homemade tool only works on the 2004 and older trucks. The newer trucks have a different stub axle so you can't use just a flat piece of pipe flange. I did try that.
The tech at the local ford joint told me to just press it in as far as I can, then put the hub on and tighten in down. He said that would press it to where it needs to be.? I just can't understand why that would work if they make a special tool for the job.
