It's time to replace my front brakes/rotors. Since everything will be apart, I think I should replace my hub seals(leaking badly) and bearings while I'm in there.

Does anyone have a parts list or brand they suggest for the parts? Any other tips/suggestions?

Also, thinking of just paying someone to do it as I have VERY little free time. Anyone in san diego area you guys trust?

Thanks!

Do a complete front end service. trail gear or marlin have complete kits.
I am sure your axles could use some grease too. Tie rod ends etc..
Upgrade to FJ rotors and V-6 calipers while you are at it.

Knuckle service kit. Wheel bearings. Perhaps flush the brake system with new fluid and some bling synthetic for the diff.

Use your " YOTATECH" discount code!

Thanks for the replies. The last time I had the front rotors/knuckles redone they started to leak within months.

Are there any other "should get" parts other than the general knuckle rebuild kit to prevent them from leaking again? Or were they just done incorrectly? If it matters, the truck is just for transportation, hauling dump runs, and very seldem off-roading/beach 4x4 use. I'd rather not spend tons of money on this truck, but at the same time, dont mind spending a few bucks to do it correctlly/not have to re-do it (AGAIN).

I also already have the larger rotors/calipers up front (from and early 80s FJ IIRC)

Thanks a lot guys! Any tips/advice are greatly appriciated.
