help please
having trouble posting a pic with the seal that I need help with. first does anyone know the number for that seal. and how do you take it out. does the metal around the seal come out to. or just the rubber part. :pat:
I hope this works. I tried to down load the pic then post it but im getting an error message.

Hopefully the attached pic will help. It's the only one I had of the spindle with the bushing removed (although you can see the needle bearings have been inserted at this point).
As you can see, the rubber seal hasn't been removed. Unless it's damaged, there shouldn't be a reason to remove it. Just pound out the OEM bushing from behind and then insert the needle bearing as shown in the photo (you'll notice it's recessed a little bit allowing room for the new steering knuckle bushing).

I was a little worried there for a while. Glad you figured it out.
It was probably a good idea to have someone remove the inner bushings for you. I remember what a chore that was. Those things just don't want to come out.
Let me know how the front end sounds when you get everything put back together. You should hear the sweet sounds of silence...
