Ok so I am rebuilding the knuckles on my 83 Toyota truck


I got the knuckles done birfield done and to the point I am putting wheel bearings in got the bearings in and torqued the inner bearing and when the spin the rotor and I get about a 1/4 of a turn and it stops then turns 1/4 of a turn the other way in stops/.

 

First thought, open it back up and look, I bet something is in backwards or is interfering.

 

I pulled the rotor back off did not see anything does anyone have a picture of the spindle without the rotor on

 

You sure the rotor is not hitting on the dust shield which can happen quite easy .

How does the hub spin without the rotor ??

Get the bearing to tight ??

 

This video might help Next video show rebuilding.

 

its was the studs that low range I included in the kit that replaced the bolts I reused the bolts and its fine. so far I am very unhappy with the kit I bought from low range it is also missing parts.

 

I now always inventory the kit before leaving the store, and throw nothing away until driving again

 

got it put together and the locking hub does not spin and it says its in the free postion but when I spin the wheel the pinion spins

 

any ideas

 

I hope to rebuild my axle this weekend. It will be my first time and a friend is helping me. I will see what I can find out then.

 

Hub put together wrong or the dial just spins and it stays in the locked position.

 

I never took the hub apart and it was working before I took it off the truck also I have no idea what to look for as far as how it should be

 

who makes the best locking hub replacements that are no crazy expansive

 

which bolts/studs are you referring to there?

there is no better quality locking hub than what came on the truck... do both sides fail to go into the lock position? doubtful that they are both defective.

 

Ok so I got most of the problems solved the pass side is together done and working great the drive side is don't all the way to installing the spindle I totally forgot to order a spindle because the drive side one was toast.


Low range has the cromeoly ones for around 100 but I don't need a cromeoly one nor do I want to spend that mush on a spindle is there anywhere that's sells a stock replacement
