front knuckle rebuild question

Post by Cav Trooper »

Do the felt seals get a coat of grease or saturated before install in the knuckle rear seal. Also torque spec on all trunnion bolts and spindle bolts?
Thanks

Soak the felts in a light oil. Don't forget to reinstall the springs in the felt retainers. As for the bolts, are you using the original bolts or GR8?
