Where are you? A garage will charge a bloody fortune. If you are nearby I can help if not maybe someone else can.

Not exactly rocket science it's just bearings and seals.
But depends on your experience or capabilitys.
When I rebuilt my kja front axle it was just after I'd
Learnt to do brake pads

They are a few ways to do the bearings but ideally a large
50mm deep socket and a spring gauge are needed. Circuit pliers
Also help.

Seal and bearing kits can be bought on ebay. I got mine
From a seller call "rocksta" in India. £70 delivered.

One main thing to check is your kingpins. This uses
Shims to adjust the bearings. If the bearings have been adjusted
In the past there may not be any shims left .so you will need to
Purchase some. I believe Jimny bits does them

Depends how well u turn spanners

.. Personally I think , from experience, knuckle rebuilds with new oil seals and bearings and king pin bearings etc is about 2 hour job if u haven't done it before. And about half hour each side if u done it a couple of tines and got the right tools.
