Knuckle felts and seals are dealer only, but sometimes do appear on fleebay.
The axle seal any bearing dealer can supply or can be brought online.
Your knuckle seal looks in good condition and the felt comes in 2 half's.
If your driveshaft will pull straight out you don't need to remove the rear seal and kingpins.
(you could remove the lower kingpin just to get the oil out)

This shows all that's needed to get to the seal. Spindle off ,with hub attached, driveshaft still connected. The axle oil seal on it's own is only a few quid :thumbup:

Does the jimny knuckle seal also fit the SJ. I see they don't use a felt but some other "Doofer!"
I see lots of jimny seals on fleebay but sod all just for the SJ. :er:

Why do they say to cut the swivel seal and some also come pre cut? Mine streched over just fine even with the kingpin bearing races in place.

The swivel hub seal is for a jimny anyway isnt it?

Also if your current retainers are ok then no need to pay for that set as felts and seals are onlt £25 per wheel at Suzuki.
