Hey guys,
I know the knuckle rebuild question has been exhausted, however, as mine is a diesel I want to make sure I get all the correct parts (both direct and indirect (like grease)) as I do not know if there are minor changes.
Full transparency: I have no tools and will be going to a DIY garage in my city. I do not know if the tools required (54 mm hub socket, Spring scale gauge, knuckle stud socket, Form-in-place-gasket) are common place in any reputable garage, or if you recommend I purchase them.
As of now the parts I plan to get are as follows:
Cruiser Outfitters
Knuckle Rebuild kit - 80 Series
Part# FA9097
With Timken Bearings
Part# FA9097TWB
Birf Joints:
See part# FACL27091 & FACL34005 x2
Grease:
For the bearings and birfs i was going to use Amsoil moly grease
Found here: Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease, NLGI #2
I need to fill it 2/3rds. How much is that? How much of the above should I buy?
Is there anything else I am missing?
Attached are pictures of my truck the day I screwed stuff up.
I also don't know whats going on with the rear:
Hopefully this helps.
Thank you for all your help
