got the passenger size tore down and cleaned. just gotta pull the seal out of the axle housing and i'm planning on cleaning the knuckle a little more. majority of the time today was taken up by just cleaning 26 years worth of grease and dirt mess... the bearings actually still look like their in good condition but i'm going to replace them anyways.
tomorrow i'll be tearing the other side down and cleaning, that'll probably be it.. then the following weekend i'll start assembling everything back together.
a few pic's for motivation
