Are you leaving in the old lower trunion bearing race? I don't see a problem with removing the lower arm as long as the studs are checked and the cone washers are back in and the nuts are torqued properly. Why do you leave it alone?

I agree with you B. However, the bearings can and have been changed without anything special when the steering arm is left on. The knuckle housing can come off the axle while the arm is attached. I only recommend this because of the number of posts with Brett's issue not long after a re-pack. This does not mean anyone should or that I have skiped over checking the torque during re-assembly or periodically. If I ever pull off the steering arm, new studs would be installed with PLENTLY of loctite. I recommened to Brett that he order eight new studs and we change them on both sides.
That's a good point Spike. Brett, I'll look into a used housing when I go down to the salvage yards this week.
