Matt, You are on your way to become world famous in the Land Cruiser world.
I will be proud to say I've known you since day one.
Only problem is when I'm 80 years old and don't feel like working on my Cruisers anymore, you'll either be too busy or moved on to bigger and better things.
I'm would like to get a beadlock wheel to to guy in Ponchatoula. He would come pick up. If you're attending Mardi krawl and don't mind taking a wheel back home with you, please let me know.
Thanks
I used a
FKM Oil Shaft Seal 32 X 40 X 7mm dbl lip
seal to replace the teflon/oring setup. It fit perfectly between lower bearing and snap ring. Oringsandmore has 32 x 40 x 5mm seals that can be used for the lower dust seal and probably better quality too.
Conclusion: A Rockauto 8748 kit, add...
Autozone has the correct lower dust seal. If looking it up on their website, it doesn't list it under a vehicle search, bot if you put in the 223210 part number, it shows "lower seal Land Cruiser Steering gear"
The Edelmann kit arrived yesterday. It had the same wrong seals as the FVP kit. I figured it would. The FVP kit included a couple of more teflon seals that I assume go to under the piston somewhere. I didn't want to have the balls all fall out and go through the hassle of getting them put back in.
