First.
Thanks everyone for pointing me towards a plethora of useful links. I expect my first venture into my LC axles to go smoothly.
I've got a couple questions before I go at it this weekend.
I'm plan on doing the following:
1. Replace the "evil breather" on my axle housing via a hose up to the firewall.
2. Repack the birfield and wheel bearings.
3. Replace the inner axle oil seal and wheel bearing grease seal.
I have have all the stuff for the breather fix, and I am unconcerned about that part.
Here's what I've got for the birf/wheel bearing job:
2 x inner axle oil seal
2 x wheel bearing grease seal
2 x tabbed lock washer
socket drivers up to 0.5 inch
general purpose socket sizes
hammers, screw drivers, etc.
grease, solvent, towels, etc.
Do I need any more parts / tools to complete the job right?
Gaskets?
Whassup with the snap-ring? Do I need to replace these?
Do I need 54mm hub socket?
