'86 K10 Corp 10bolt front end rebuild
So it's been a long time since I rebuilt a 4WD front end (like 20 years!) and I'd like a few suggestions about what I should replace. I'm pretty confident the ball joints need to be done and since I'm going this deep I figured I might as well freshen up the front end so I don't need to peel it apart again anytime soon.
The common parts I was going to replace: - Rotors/pads and a caliper rebuild. - Wheel bearings inner/outer bearings and inner seals - Ball joints upper/lower - Drag link - Tie rods inner/outer - Axle universal joint - Axle Seals (I forgot these front ends don't have c-clips and I already dropped the diff cover and dropped the center pin before I realized what I did so I'll pop the carrier out and get this done too) Is there anything else I should be doing while I'm in here AND/OR any helpful tips/tools/tricks I should know? The locking hubs are smooth and work great so I'll just re-grease and run them. The spindle bearing seems smooth, and really I have no idea how you even get at that bearing out of there... if it's easy I'll probably just do it as well since it's cheap enough. |
