[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 347790, member: 1780"] Almost got it back together last night. Figured I'd update this thread with pics and links for handy info that should serve as a good log of information for future FJ80 newb web researchers. :drinkers: This is a link to some good info on Bobby Longfields lifetime wiper seals and best way to install them. [url=http://forum.ih8mud.com/merchandise-storefront/339142-toyota-knuckle-lifetime-wiper-seal.html]http://forum.ih8mud.com/merchandise-storefront/339142-toyota-knuckle-lifetime-wiper-seal.html[/url] Pics. Bobby's wipers already come with a slit in them. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/5u6y6yda.jpg[/IMG] I have shiny knuckles again. Put the new Marlin Eco Seals in, axles in, packed all bearings, put knuckles on, packed them with marine wheel bearing grease for boat trailers, and bolted down steering arm. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/y5aqebaq.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/u3a6eqyr.jpg[/IMG] Next, put the spindle on with new gasket. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/6asyvema.jpg[/IMG] Mount the hub/rotor/wheel bearings, etc. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/dy2y3yte.jpg[/IMG] Now, since aftermarket birfield's are standard as the "longer" length, just as you find in the 95-97 FJ80 front axles, you need tall drive flanges. The red ones are what was on my rig, black ones are the longer, correct flanges. Now I should stop losing so many dust caps as a result of the shaft sticking through too far and knocking it off on the trail. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/upu7ury8.jpg[/IMG] Drive flange on, put screw in shaft and pull it outward as far as it will go. Shown in the picture, everything fits precisely now. It comes just far enough out to put the snap ring on. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/9u8esa6u.jpg[/IMG] Hammer dust cap on next. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/uqa4enu7.jpg[/IMG] After paint. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/12/nyhu8uhe.jpg[/IMG] Still gotta mount calipers, install the lifetime wiper seals (link above), slap some gear oil in 'er, and she'll be ready to roll....hopefully leak free.
