I don't miss that part of the Toyota front axles. I rebuilt mine last year and I don't plan on touching it for another couple

well, after a few weeks im still very happy with the large brakes, with the fj80 master it pulls down to a stop quickly, even with the heavy toyos

Looks good. Whose knuckle rebuild kit did you use?

crawlerdan · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 30, 2008, 07:41:37 AM »

FROR.

i unfortunately cannot recommend using that kit again. it had no steel parts in it.

definately go with marlin or allpro

What do you mean by that? The only metal parts are the shims, star nuts and oil seals..the rest is felt, rubber and paper....what kinda (brand) bearings did they give you?

Great pics, nice looking work, are those sky 'backing plate' spacers?

crawlerdan · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 30, 2008, 02:31:54 PM »

no i made the spacers out of the old shield

you mean the half moon things that hold the felts to the back of the knuckle ?? Marlins kit didnt have those either,

they did have Koyo bearings though

crawlerdan · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 30, 2008, 04:40:44 PM »

ya those, or the steel ring in between the felt and rubber.

the last three marlin kits ive bought had all the steel hardware

when i called marlin they said they said they dont sell that steel ring between the felt and rubber with their kits. we ended up buying the whole sets of felts and rubber from the dealer just for those.

That is correct...it is not included and the old ring should be re-used

wish they told me that before

I just looked at Marlins, Sky, All-Pro, and FROR sites, none of them show them in the pictures. T-G and Inchworm (same kit as TG's have them). I bought the kit from TG once, the trunnion bearings are no-name bearings and on the frist trip on them I broke a top bearing and screwed up a 30-spline Long.

I have made a habit of not throwing away anything until I am finished with a job and rolling down the road.
