Although my '84 M1028 only has 12,000 miles, I suspect the front bearings and seals are original with 27-year-old grease. So before I strike out on a long trip, I want to go through both hubs and replace all bearings and seals, regardless of condition just for my peace of mind.
Question - where is the best source for these parts? I did a search and spent a considerable amount of time trying to find some related posts, but finally gave up. Any recommendations will be appreciated.
Another question - the u-joints in the front axles - while I have the front end tore down, should I also replace these? All the rubber on the rest of the truck was dry-rotted, so I suspect the grease cups on these axle joints are too. Can I pull the axles out and re-install without damaging the inner seals at the differential?
Thanks in advance for comments.
