Made some progress today, got the knuckles and spindles loose. U joints look solid, nice USA made non greaseables, so gonna leave em in.
Watched a video in Dana 50 rebuilds and they just gave the knuckles a few whacks and it dropped out, beat mine for idk 30 mins and didn’t budge, pulled out the new pickle fork I bought for this job and 5 hits later it was on the ground lol
Lesson learned, just because someone puts it on the internet, doesn’t mean they know what they are doing lol
Ordered some new dust shields, gonna just bring the knuckles to a shop and have the ball joints pressed out and new in, save me time. Thinking about painting them as well, nothing crazy just a little rattle can job.
Then I’ll tackle the pivot bushings, installing the new races in the hub, and start to button it all back up.
