In the middle of my first axle redo. I've printed and read the FAQ's and other threads (as it turns out, not very well).
I just realized I didn't pound out the outer races of the existing knuckle bearings. FAQ says "You need to remove the trunion bearings and the races located on the top and bottom of the inner knuckle" and shows a picture, but I missed it.
I put NEW bearings in the EXISTING outer races. I've installed my knuckle housing (4 bottom nuts, 2 top bolts). I'm ready to torque everything to spec.
I have NOT checked the pre-load. I have NOT installed the new Birfield yet.
Should I undo it and replace the existing races or will the existing races be fine?
Thanks,
BURBIS
