Quick question on Front Axle flange

[Amxhunter]

Can I just unbolt the flange and pull it off without screwing something up ? Gonna loose a lot of lube ? Do I need to jack the wheel up ?

TIA

It's raining today

you shouldnt loose any lube. you dont need to jack the truck up either. all you should see when you pull the flange is some grease from the wheel bearings. before i got locking hubs i used to change from my dummy flanges to the real deal on the side of the road if i need front wheel drive.
