That's the one ... if you're gonna cut one of the teflon seals putting one of these boxes together it's that one. I did it too. I think Toyota sells those individually though, so it's cheaper to get a backup. You don't have to buy a whole other kit.

I ordered 3. They will be here in 2 weeks. I think I will start on the front axle next.

Got the new seals in! Thanks @Zjohnsonua for the tips, I was able to install the power piston on the first try. I sanded the sharp edge down and put the power piston in the freezer for awhile. Got it all assembled, painted and installed.

BLING!

Test fitted the hubs before I tore down the front axle. Will need to modify the birfs for the snap ring

 

[ryaneddy16]

Tore down the knuckles. Looks like original grease. Gross

 

[ryaneddy16]

This was not fun.
Used a bucket of diesel to clean the knuckle parts then gave them a good coat of semigloss paint. Bearings are all packed ready for assembly. Per a fellow mudders recommendation I am gonna use Schaeffers 238 grease. I still have to modify the birfs for the locking hubs.

 

[ryaneddy16]

Started to assemble after a awsome Thanksgiving frying 5 turkeys! Didn't last long. Haha oh well I got new hardware coming. Should be here in a week.

 

[ryaneddy16]

Got the new hardware in thanks to @cruiseroutfit ! Got the ball rolling on the Knuckle job. Hope to finish this weekend.

You’re making a lot of progress now that you and the truck are in the same state!

 

[ryaneddy16]

Haha definitely! I try to do something on it every night.

 

[ryaneddy16]

MAJOR PROGRESS

Got alot done over the weekend. Got the birfeilds modified for the locking hubs and finished the axle rebuild. For the birfs I used Schaeffer 238 grease. Got the tie rods swapped and steering hooked back up.
