Hi all!
I'm doing a full rebuild on my '72 front drum axle. I now have fj60 knuckles and "short" birfs in. I had to do some grinding to widen the opening on the ball housing enough to get the larger than stock birfs inside. Everything was perfectly clean and refurbished when assembling.

Haven't posted any progress on here for a while! A lot has happened since Summer '21, when I bought my 40 and started this journey. After taking a month to drive the loud, floaty, smoking thing, I got started and tore the thing apart. At the beginning I really only wanted to address the obvious...
