My mistake not o-ring , I was referring to the rubber seal before the felt like the diagram. So I have everything correct it seems, just need to try grease I suppose.

What kind of grease do you recommend moly like for birfields or red wheel bearing grease ?

Currently doing a knuckle job on my 95 landcruiser.I set knuckles using fish scale and had between 7-8 lbs with correct shims and felt great on both sides. I noticed after securing down the inside wipers , seal , inner felt it started to feel extremely tight. Performed on opposite side and same...

Yeah I found factory oem .20 shim on top for trunnion bearings and none on the bottom. Knuckle bolts were not loose at all upon removal. I do believe the inner nut torque/ wheel bearing preload wasn’t set correct from previous owner due to the grooves found in washers and excessive play from...

At this point iI’m considering just trying that out possibly and giving it a shot. I just don’t want to damage the new spindles over time once I put those in. Especially if I got a new birf for it. I think I’m going to take the passenger side apart , inspect it throughly for any damage and...

Yeah the transmission cooler hoses I used were from the same local shop that I got these clamps from. The hoses were technically-6 since I had trouble finding the original size hoses with clamps locally and was just wanting to get it finished asap . They been holding up great so far.

I appreciate it! I thought I had responded back but apparently not my mistake. Yeah it was complete new engine short block and head aside from timing cover and camshafts. These were the exact ones I used .

Yeah I already have an order placed for the front spindles just to not run into any issues down the road. I personally never had the knuckle studs or spindles come loose on me but not sure about previous owner. From what I can see most of the stuff looks original and untouched besides locknuts/...

Yeah if I can’t find anything then I might be up for it depending on price and location. Down south where about and do you know asking price for it by chance? I have some space I could possibly store for tear down if part out is the route I end up going.

I’m in socal ( Rancho Cucamonga) area so I could find plenty of part out cruisers near by if need be.

Yeah I’m not sure I want to go down that rabbit hole unless I really need to 😂. I haven’t pulled the passenger side yet either. Was going to driver side first since it’s leaking bad compared to the other. But after finding all these concerns I’m might need to so I can order and repair everything...

the further I inspect the more damage I keep finding. So I see upper bearing has major scoring and lower was staring to do the same as well.

Yeah after seeing the grooves on the spindle where the seal rides instead of repairing I’ve already ordered a set of new Oem from spindles. Due to price I ordered from Japan so should hopefully be here within 2 weeks or so. My main concern now really is the birfields and inner housing.
