FJ40 Front Axle / Hand Brake Cable

[kezamora]

My 1982 FJ40 front axle is leaking oil and after disassembly, the swivels show heavy pitting.
So replacing seals won't guarantee it won't continue to leak. Can anyone recommend a good
source for a replacement 'new' front axle? The swivels are welded on, not bolted on.

After completing the 4" lift, the handbrake cable is too short. Does anyone know who sells a
longer handbrake cable?

@kezamora can you post a pic of the swivels? There are some tricks to getting the knuckle felts to seal on the mini-trucks, possibly it'd carry over to a 40...
For the brake, hmmm... can you post pics of this also? I know there are some easy fixes with the mini trucks but I don't recall what the 40's look like
