I am looking at options, looking for opinions / experience from those of you who have done this job and sourced parts from various sources. I am just "planning" to do servicing to existing Birfield joints, hoping not to run into something more....I want to do the standard rebuild, ie, inner axle seal, all the bearings and races, all the gaskets, including wheel bearings and races. Essentially everything you would want to do based on all the various videos and posts I have seen.
Stealership doesnt sell a kit - Priced everything, and I dont think their bearings come with new races, the guy at the parts desk did not seem to know. Over $1300 with the 20% discount.
Trail-Gear FJ-80 Knuckle Rebuild Kits for 1990-1997 LAND CRUISER, 1996-1997 LX450 - 303749-1-KIT - Options from Summit, Cruiser Corps, etc. $199 from Summit, says it includes bearings.
Im leaning towards the Summit Trail-Gear kit for $199 for obvious reasons
Does anyone have any experience with this or a yay/nay on this?
Any other kits out there that are reasonable and good quality that anyone would recommend instead?
