dogs are a-plenty --
-- this is my '91's first axle service -- the wheels wobbled back in december and ben at slee tightened them up -- since then, i've been on borrowed time --
-- 195K though is a long time to run (and leak) --

Not enough grease!
What are the parts in the lower right hand corner of the pic? They look like new studs that the nut, flat washers and cones go on, PN 43421B? I guess I've never heard of anyone replacing those.

We're sort of expecting the worst -- if they're deformed, missing, etc., we're just gonna replace them -- Rick mentioned to locktite them in --

I used two "tubs" of moly that size for each of the birfields (4 total) and a "tube" of synthetic M1 for the wheel bearings in each wheel (2 total)
ppc is about right, I beleive I used two TUBS on each side, and about 1.5 TUBES for bearings, etc.

I still haven't gotten to the bottom of my box-o'-stuff from cdan. One front axle done, three axles to go. Hope not to find too many parts when it's all over, and not to have to buy too many more in the process. Buying rod ends, not sure what tool I'll need to get the old ones off, Harbor Freight?

That's what mine looked like! I could tell a huge difference in the tightness of the steering and overall feel after i did the birf job. Good luck.
Oh, and i second the plastic on the floor idea. It's really messy.

Buy it! you'll like it! no damage to the rubber boots and more importantly... actually works! (unlike those 2/3 arm pullers)
oh... and ditto on the grease.
I think I used 3 tubs of the Moly (purple) for just the birfs.
2-3 tubes of the red for the wheel bearings.
The thing is, this job is so time consuming, and grease is relatively inexpensive, so buy a LOT. More than you think you need. You'll use the remainder some other time anyway.
If you run out in the middle of the job you'll be pissed....
