So im attempting to do a SAS on my 94 pickup and the knuckles need to be rebuilt... I have all the parts needed but cant figure it out. Around how much would a shop charge to rebuild each knuckle?

 

As much as they can, probably $400++
There is an exploded view in my mini FAQ. Pretty straight forward..

 

Yeah i know its an easy thing to do but im just having trouble doing it. Evrything else in the swap is simple but this part is really slowing me down.

 

Slow and steady sets the pace, slow and steady wins the race.

 

Doing a knuckle service on a SFA is a 3-5 hour job. I typically charge $250 to do a knuckle service kit with wheel bearings. It's pretty straight forward but can be a bit intimidating if you've never done one.

Yep, im a rookie at this stuff so i know its all so easy for you guys but its a bit confusing for me right now. I was working on the knuckles for about two days and then i gave up. How do you get the seals in? That part made me decide to just take a break on the project.

 

If you cant figure this out how on earth will you figure the sas out? You got it man just read up on it more take your time and do it. I felt overwhelmed my first time doing it too. Its alot easier to learn know while its out so if on the trail you have to pull it apart you know exactly how. Dont waist money on a shop pay a buddy or just figure it out on your own. lots of good websites that dive straight into this topic. do a search and you shall find all the info in the world on it. You can do it, it truely aint that hard

 

I have a seal and bearing race installation tool kit from harbor freight. I think it was $20.00. Works like a champ. You could also take the seal to the local hardware store and get a piece of PVC pipe the same outer dia, and long enough to reach out of the knuckle ball. PVC works real well for installing seals.

Don't give up on tip. You cn do it.

 

Ill do the sas itself easy thats not a problem. Thanks for the advice guys, ill try to figure it out
