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

[chim]

I think mine had some really light pitting..  I ran it anyway and never had an issue..

[bigarms23]

good start to your project

[mudmaster]

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

[bleakhorizon]

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]

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

[AaronB]

youll be fine.

what fluids do you fill a yota axle with? i know gear oil in the middle i noticed a fill plug on the top of the outers

[Mac5005]

time to bring it to the house and let me start cutting.....

[toyomr285]

what fluids do you fill a yota axle with? i know gear oil in the middle i noticed a fill plug on the top of the outers

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]

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]

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]

thats what i was thinking. thanks

[MudSlinginYota]

sweet man, good deal.  We should spray bomb it soon.  That way you can work out your color scheme exactly before we lay down the good stuff.  O and BTW.  You know how my eye was screwed up, i have a stye the size of mars in my upper eyelid, Its fricken sweet.
