I recently purchased a 69 FJ40 and found this great site while learning about my new project. .It has a 350 w a 700R4 auto, 2.5" Ol Man Emu lift, power steering, power disc brakes all around and a number of unfinished fixes, one of which I'll discuss here.
First thing I had to do was fix a leak in the interior fuel tank but that quickly made realize I need to prioritize the repairs/mods. I am giddy to get her reliable enough for a good adventure..., but I'm gonna start with some safety issues first.
The front axle seals are leaking profusely and need to identify the axle to purchase correct complete rebuild kit. Most research has turned up best to identify it by the stud distances on the steering arm. Unless of course I missed an easier way, which is frequently my issue. Can anyone identify it from these pics? Looks to be about 2 in from front stud to back stud.
I may be opting to buy the special(very pricey) tool that helps center the steering knuckle, so if anyone has a line on an "affordable" one, I'd appreciate that too!
Thanks in Advance,
LP
