There is some pitting on the knuckle. Is this normal? bad? nothing to worry about???

Same here. Hasn't leaked since rebuild about 4 years ago.

i remember seeing someone use a product, (coulda been jbweld, or fiberglass filler ie bondo) they smeared it over the pitting and then used a flapper wheel and had a nice smooth surface..... jst FYI if your worried bout it....

MudSlinginYota · « **Reply #7 on:** Aug 16, 2009, 07:02:43 AM »

i was thinking if i did anything i would probaly sand it with realy fine paper then some wet/dry. its not rough, you can tell the prev owner drove it like that

I run 80W90 Valvoline gear oil in axle and the outters (knuckles) I run a high temp disc brake wheel bearing grease

Looks like a good start on your project.

thanks i was trying to make something of the sludge that was in there. how much grease? do i squirt it in that fill plug on the top?

MudSlinginYota · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 17, 2009, 05:53:26 PM »

btw i went to my guy Chase at www.eastcoastgearsupply.com here in nc today and got together all the sas parts he had sitting in stock and overnighted the rest.

what length rear shackles do i need to run for the 63" chevys? NO DUAL SHACKLE SETUPS

89sastoyo · « **Reply #17 on:** Aug 18, 2009, 10:09:09 PM »

for the outers you pack the birfs like you would a wheel bearing atleast thats how i do it just keep rotating it and pack it then fill the inside of the ball full of grease put the knuckles on and if you are really feelin it you can pull those square plugs and pump it with a grease gun just dont get to much in there or it'll mess up your seals

MudSlinginYota · « **Reply #18 on:** Aug 19, 2009, 03:06:46 PM »

thats what i was thinking. thanks

MudSlinginYota · « **Reply #28 on:** Aug 27, 2009, 07:53:53 PM »

got a good amount done today. almost everything but d-shaft,shocks (mine are too long),and front end lift

piece of 1x1 and the ifs bumpstops

it would have gone higher if i had it in the bucket right

bump stops worked as planned.. probaly going to make them a little taller

... its cause im just THAT cool
