[Scouse Lee]

Hey up, well I've got my seals/bearing kit for the front axle on my SJ413 and intend to start it tomorrow, problem is I'm sure I saw a step by step guide on here somewhere but can only find one for the Kingpin bearings.........can anyone help before I make a mess of things

Hi,

Here's the front wheel bearing guide:

As for the seals, you have to take them off to get the kingpin bearings out...
Take the shafts all the way out and then you won't have to cut the oil seals to get them in

There was a guide on dufflick somewhere.

Cheers guys, well I've got the wheel bearing/king pin bearing guides sorted but need to go further back now to replace oil seals/steering knuckle seals etc.......... I've removed manual hubs/wheel bearings/brake discs/backing plates now, (one side had no circlip and all wheel bearing locknuts were only finger tight!), btw I need to look for a box spanner to remove/tighten the locknuts, what size are they. I have one for a Hilux but that is 50mm, I presume the ones on the SJ are about 46mm?, (not checked yet).

Hilux is 54mm, SJ is 50mm.
