I am Doing a Knuckle re-build. I have one side completley apart and was looking at the one of the new Bearings that came in the rebuild kit. There was a Bearing seat that came with it.
I says to myself "don't remember taking off a bearing seat.?" didn't see where it is showed in in the exploded view in the FSM...So i went out to my truck and looked at the "ball end" of the axle housing and sure enough there they were, one on top and one on bottom and they weren't very round inside anymore!
So to anyone who is doing this job, If you're somewhat of a Noob like me, Dont forget to pull the bearing seats in the Axle housing or your new bearing will get destroyed in the old seats.
By they way, I managed to pop them out using my small brass drift. What is the best way to get the new ones back in there if you don't have a "SST"?
