BTDT. What do you need?
There is a drain plug on the bottom of the axle housing at the center section. Helpful hints - Trunnion bearing run-out is set with shims. As you disassemble, keep the shims as they were to avoid having to re-do the centering process. You'll see what I'm talking about once you get in there. Paper towels or paper shop rags...you'll need several rolls. Moly grease in the knuckles and birfs (I like Caterpillar grease) and hi temp wheel bearing grease on the bearings. Fun project. Messy though. Good luck with it!Well I’m about to tackle the knuckle rebuild on my 80. But after watching some videos it really doesn’t seem too bad, and it gives me an excuse to buy a parts washer.
I bought the rebuild kit with wheel bearings from @cruiseroutfit and have heard good things about it.
My only question is once I remove the knuckle and everything, so I need to like tilt the axle and drain out all the old gear oil or what?
Brake cleaner is your friend. They are $1.94 a can at Walmart.Well I’m about to tackle the knuckle rebuild on my 80. But after watching some videos it really doesn’t seem too bad, and it gives me an excuse to buy a parts washer.

Due keep track of the shims but, there is nothing to recenter on the 80 axle. The shims are only there to adjust the steering resistance of the knuckle. The process is lengthy but not that bad. Remember to remove you ABS sensors ( if you have ABS) before attempting to remove the burfield. Also notice the ABS sensors are partly plastic so don't force them . Sometimes they get stuck, gently work them loose they are not cheap. Remember to examine you inner bearing seal it is easy to forget which side goes back in first as there is a shoulder on inside face of the seal. If your running large tires it is not a bad idea to run your wheel bearing on the high side of the spec (fish scale reading) due to the extra weight.
