Front Disc Dust Cover Gasket (?)

[rstoddard]

@orangefj45
Can anyone tell me if there is a gasket between the Knuckle and the Brake Dust Cover? I can't find any reference to any PN for one. Everything I'm seeing seems to suggest that it goes on straight metal-to-metal, which seems odd (see diagram below). If anyone had a PN reference for a '78 FJ40, that is GREATLY appreciated.

The diagram you have is correct.

Thanks Georg!

Does that Seal gasket go on dry?

Thanks Georg!

Does that Seal gasket go on dry?

Yes. No silicone/sealant is used when rebuilding knuckles.

Sorry, one more Question: What is the torque on the (8) Seal bolts? I can't find it listed. Thx!!!

35-40 foot pounds. Use some loctite on these.
