I disagree. A well maintained birfield should last a minimum of 300,000, probably a lot more. This means a 60k repack interval using the proper lubricants and proper OEM seals, gaskets, bearings, etc.

I ordered the MAF Jap birf's 4 years ago and the ABS ring didn't stay on.
I guess this problem has been fixed.
I got the older Newfields. They started clicking and CV gave me the newnewerNewfields.
I will have to check to see how many miles I have on them.
I did have problems with the newnewerNewfields, the ABS ring wouldn't stay on. Sent them to CV and they used a punch to mar up the surface so the ring would stay on. It worked.
-B-, you better not post " I need new birf's" or you owe me $1,000,000 us cash

Hmm...
Yep, I'm a newbie to these forrums, and I'm going to take advantage of that by asking questions.
So, my PS birfield is starting to click when turning. Is this more likely a repack or replace? If it is just a repack, I'll probably buy a new OEM ABS birfield to pack and have as a ready spare.
So, what all do I need to do the repack? Does anyone sell a 4 wheel repack kit with everything needed to do the job? Is there a complete part numbers list somewhere? Bearings, seals, grease... um... ??? Anything else?
***grumbles and goes looking for his brass hammer for the cone washers.

Grench,
There are answers to all of your questions and more. Check the FAQ for posts on everything you'll need to know to do a front axle service. The easiest way to get the p/n's is to give the guys at American Toyota a call. C-Dan is on vacation so he isn't accepting PM's this week but tell those guys you are on 'Mud and they will get you the best pricing around and will get you the parts you need.
If you'd rather do the planning yourself there is a post with all part numbers; it is probably in the FAQ but if you can't find it then let me know and I will search it out. It has every possible p/n including all the bearings.
Clicking is not a good sign but it's not necessarily a terrible thing. Some have swapped sides and repacked and got a lot more life out of their abused birfs. It's best to service the axle before it starts clicking though.
