Would diagrams like this be useful? If so, what would you want changed/added?

I sometimes throw together diagrams like this for systems I'm working on to collected scattered information. Here's a pretty rough draft of one for the front wheel hub and steering knuckle.

Idea is to have all information needed for disassembly, service, reassembly, and part replacement for a person with basic automotive experience.

Stuff still missing from this one: Grease specifications, bearing preload procedure, lock washer and snap-ring guidance, cone washer removal tips.
I'd also like to expand on non-OEM alternatives when there are high quality options available (thinking mostly gaskets and the knuckle bearing, but I'm sure there's more).

I figured I'd start sharing these as I make them, but was wondering if there's anything else that should be included to make it more generally useful.

Cool diagram. As someone who bought many of these parts lately it would have been handy.

This is great, I would pay for something like this.

I think this is great as well. Really fantastic work. My only suggestions are 1) Have it in a format that you can select and copy the part numbers for easy online ordering, 2) Include the years covered, specific engine, etc., at the top so that it is clear.

If you ever do electrical harness stuff, the connector part numbers would be fantastic, as well as the Denso/Sumitomo, etc. part numbers, so you can get them from alternative sources. Also include all the wiring in a single source. When I did the light stalk pinout, I think the wires that go to that connector are on 4 different diagrams I had to chase down.

An old mud vendor (we won't talk about it here) made a nice one of these for the 80 series. There was suppose to be a 100 series one but from what I know, it never came to be.
