what holds the front outer part of the shaft in the hub?
i know you disconnect the 6 bolts at center pumpkin
i need to change the boot and don't want to break anything else trying to remove it

Take off the tire and remove the plug that's online with the half shaft and remove that bolt that's behind the plug.

This is where the TM is your friend...you must make sure 1.25in bolt is locktited back in with a lock washer and torqued to spec...I check all trucks that come in...99% of the time it's loose or the lock washer broke off...and that will eat your outer spur gear bearing.
