I have brand new seals, Im more worried about the gap thats machined into the inner side of the steering knuckle. My worry is that its a bit too small of a gap for the very fine lip on the seal to bite into. Any opinion about my worry? Im installing a new seal reagardless. Thank you for your...

Here is a pic after cleaning up a bit, I can clean it up a bit better. But, I wanted to hopefully get a second opinion first. The needle bearings seem fine as does the brass bushing.

Maybe the world record for the longest CV axle install. I have been chipping away at it over the summer between more ("important"?) responsibilities. Passenger side is done and seems good. I'm onto the driver side now. Mostly certain the inner knuckle seals are factory at 160*** miles. I...

Hopefully I dont get banned! I gently pulled the seal that I drove too deep. It slipped right out, I examined it and it looks fine. I have an oreillys brand "precision" seal that I can install if you all think re-using the seal I pulled is a bad idea. The seal I installed was OEM. The precision...

Great, I will do that instead of the permatex. Thank you!

Next quick question, the old paper gasket under the large dust seal did not appear to have any gasket sealer on it. When I install the new paper gasket, should I use gasket sealant (permatex ultra black) or should I leave the paper gasket dry?

Great, thanks. I guess I need to sneak it back out a bit or install a new new one!

Thanks for the response! I double, triple checked the part numbers. I believe this is the proper seal for the passenger side differential. Exact same as the seal I removed. This new seal just seated in a tiny bit deeper than the old seal. I will post a Pic of the part number on the bag tomorrow...

I haven't posted in a while, forgive me. But I have been researching alot. Im installing new OEM front cv axles on our 2006 LX-470, it now has about 170k miles on it. I have owned it since 2016. When we bought it, it had about 107k miles on it. I replaced wheel bearings a few years ago. But now...

If my schedule allows it, I'm in. Sundays are best for me, but I could try to skip out of work on a Saturday too. What is best for everyone else?

No, not enough folks were available. Should we try again!!!?

I'm ready too! This time with sliders installed-

Hopefully the corrosion isnt so bad, I have yet to see an lx in that color in person! Wow! Dreamy! Nice find!

Let's go!!!!! What works for everyone?
