Unit Bearing Tool for 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty Dana 60
The Artec Unit Bearing Tool is a DIY weld-together fixture that lets you pull apart the front unit bearings on a 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty Dana 60 so you can swap ABS tone rings — the step that trips up most one-ton front axle swaps into a JK. Rather than paying for a one-off press setup or a machine shop visit, you weld the supplied laser-cut plates together along the etched guide lines and run the tool with a 1/2" drive impact. It is a reusable shop fixture, so it stays useful across every Super Duty bearing you service after the swap.
Features
- CNC laser cut from 3/16" and 1/4" mild steel plate
- Includes a 3/16" AR hardened plate for the impact-drive surface
- Laser-etched guide lines let you weld the stack concentric and true
- Works with a standard 1/2" drive impact driver
- Purpose-built for 99-04 Super Duty unit bearing disassembly and tone-ring changes
- DIY weld-together format keeps the cost far below a dedicated press fixture
Verify your axle is the 1999-2004 Super Duty Dana 60 front — the 2005-up unit bearing differs — and plan on welding the plates yourself before first use; work carefully, because forcing the tool can damage a bearing, and some tone rings still need a puller or press to come fully free. If you are matching tone rings to a JK swap, pair it with the 1-ton 52-tooth tone rings, and find more swap hardware in replacement axle parts and tools or the full Artec Industries lineup.

Unit Bearing Tool for 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty Dana 60 FAQs
What does this tool actually do?
It lets you disassemble the front unit bearings on a 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty Dana 60 so you can change the ABS tone rings — typically to match a 52-tooth JK count during a one-ton front axle swap — and then reassemble them. Without it, that job usually means a press fixture or a machine shop.
Do I have to weld it together myself?
Yes. It ships as laser-cut plates that you weld into the finished fixture, following the laser-etched guide lines so everything stays concentric. That DIY format is what keeps the price low, and once welded the tool is reusable indefinitely.
What else do I need to finish the job?
A standard 1/2" drive impact driver runs the tool. Work deliberately — improper use can damage a unit bearing — and be aware that some tone rings still need a puller or press to come fully off the bearing after disassembly.
