Well as is par for the course the axle rebuild took twice as long as anticipated.
Items that held me up along the way...
Figuring out the technique for getting the axle back into the birf with that pesky inner snap ring.
Modifing snap ring pliers so that I could reinstall the outer snap ring.
I'm not real confident I got the preload right on the wheel bearings, it sure seems like it takes alot of force to rotate. The scale says something like 30lbs.
The FSM's instructions were pretty squirrly so I just followed Roger Browns way of doing it. I'll have a friend over in a few weeks to check it out.
QUESTION:
The stock bolts for the calipers won't fit through the V6 calipers. The hole seems to be a tad too small. Has anyone else run across this. Not sure if I should grind out the holes in the calipers or not. It would seem that if I ordered v6 bolts they would be just a tad too small for the threads on the knuckle housing.
