So my son and I are rebuilding an 83 SR5 and first on the hit list are the leaking front hubs that produced a rhumba drum beat at highway speeds. We started to strip the hubs down, learned to hate cone washers and are now in the build it back up phase. We need new inner and outer bearings and cone washers and bolts. My question is, other than a factory manual, is there somewhere online where we could look at an exploded view of those front hubs on the solid axle and also, any recommendations on where to go for parts? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I want this to be fun for my son as I've had lots of fun rebuilding little british sports cars over the years and I know that these forums have to be one of the best things about the net for all the great info and also good folks offering help and advice. Thanks again!

Rebuild kits available from AllPro, TrailGear, MarlinCrawler, etc. Will heave all bearings, seals, etc. to rebuild the front axle.

 

Thanks 4Crawler! This is why I love these forums: Solid information from the people who know best. Exactly what I needed! My son or I may be back right quick when we hit the next hurdle (and there's always another hurdle, isn't there? Kinda what makes it fun, actually)
