A lot of people here have put them in with no ill effect.  Order them, if they don't work as expected call the shop and they will take care of you.  :thumbs:

I don't think the kid had a big enough hammer. :headscratch:

Besides I don't think Marlin know the meaning of making junk. Buy them.

They fit my axle just fine and haven't leaked yet. I think they are worth it, just so I don't have to pull all that stuff off again just to replace a stupid seal. Do it right the first time, and you wont be disappointed!

He must know the meaning of junk which is how he manages to avoid making junk... :yupyup: :gap:



I put a set of these in my axle recently and they fit perfect!  If you can wait, do so, before putting your stuff together... :biggthumpup:

That's kind of what I meant. There should have been a "making" in there. Edited post.

They work great and fit fine. The nice thing about them is the allow for the margin of error if the knuckle is not centered right.

Are they worth the wait, YES!!!!

i don't think marlin would sell anything that he wouldn't put in his truck or last for the longest time possible. next time i rebuild my knuckles i'll put the HDs in.
