knuckle rebuild

I just got my front right knuckle cleaned up to rebuild it. Took longer than inspected due to rock hard gaskets that needed to be scraped and stubborn brake lines. I also still can’t hammer out my wheel studs so I can replace the rotors, but that’s another story and I may have to find a buddy...

I have a 1990 HZJ80 and this is my first time attempting to rebuild the steering knuckle on the left side, which has the longer axle. I replaced the CV joint, mounted it on the axle, and secured it with the snap ring. After greasing everything, I reassembled the hub. Before installing the...

Hi all, I have been lurking for a bit, but I am pretty new to the Land Cruiser world, picked up a 1993 Land Cruiser in August. On my drive home from Durham to Nashville I was experiencing a grinding noise that would only happen when I lifted off the throttle at 60+ MPH. The noise is fairly...

Hey y’all, I FINALLY got around to ripping into my knuckle, and noticed what I’m worried is significant wear. I will attach a picture, let me know how concerned you all think I should be. Thanks

Hey all. I’m finally getting around to rebuilding my knuckles, either tomorrow or the next day, for the first time and was really just wondering how long you all expect it to take me. I’m a first timer, but I have all the materials I expect to need (thanks to all of you kind folk.) I have...

Recently riving my 1989 FJ62 it felt sluggish as if the parking brake was on or something was holding it back. We ended up pulling off the highway and the front end was smoking. Turns out the inside of both front wheels was on fire. We got the fires out by chucking water from bottles on it but I...

I’m finally pulling together all of my projects into one place. For background I bought this rig about 18 months ago after semi looking for years. I happened to find a 1988 locally which had been well maintained and had good bones (no rust) My mission was to create a bone stock (or as close as...

So, I got the axle off with the PVC pipe method without too much trouble. Upon inspecting the ring, it's really dug in. So much so that the two points of the C stick out pretty far past the splines. I was told by someone the other day who redid his knuckle that his mistake was not pushing this C...

I'm doing my knuckle rebuild on my 97 fzj80 now and when I pulled out the axle the tone ring fell off. This happened last year and I had a mechanic replace it. When I put it back on it just slips all the way down with nothing to hold it there. Birfields are 2 years old. Any idea what could cause...

Planning a knuckle rebuild on my 60 and am considering upgrading the birfield joints and possibly axles during the rebuild since I’ll already be in there. Unfortunately I’ll have to make this decision in advance as I’ll have to complete the rebuild in a maximum of four days. I’ve been toying...

Hello everyone, The rear-end of my LX is beginning to look saggy and it's bothering me. I've replaced all four shocks with Rancho RS5000's but haven't replaced the original springs yet. After looking online, I can't find any parts stores that carry standard replacement springs, and...

Started shooting a knuckle rebuild video series today. Got the first video of the tear down done. As soon as @CRASHTH gets all the parts cleaned up I'll shoot the second video on using the knuckle centering tool. And then we'll do a third video on reassembly.

Hey guys, I've searched the FAQ and every possible related thread, but all I got is "don't over torque or you will bend the bracket". Well, turns out the force is minimal because my brackets are bent around every bolt hole. At no point in tightening did they ever feel tight enough to where they...
