Well guys after all this time it looks like I finally have a working CUCV again! Thanks for all the help. I just hope my repairs were done right and I won't have to mess with the hubs or anything again.

Well the crappy thing is that I installed the seals on the bottom of the hub so now I have to pull those put. I hope I can get them out without damaging them. Last time I just used a flat head screw driver and pried them out. Any tips on that would be welcomed.

Looking at some videos online I'm thinking I didnt grease the wheel bearing enough. I'll probably pop those out and put some more in there just to be safe.

I do have a Chilton manual but it's schematic and instructions on this section are very vague. I'll try to find a Haynes manual today and see if it's any better. Tonight I clean the old spindle that was good and will be putting it back on. I'll let everyone know how it's goes. Hopefully I'll...

I think you're talking about some lines left from a greased bearing being put in?

Videos say a million words....

On my new hubs it wouldn't have races in it would it? Also do the inner bearing use races?

Here it is. The bearing fits inside of it. I understand what a race is but I'm not seeing one in the parts that I took out of the bad hub or the good one. Seeing as how bearing fit more than one vehicle I just want to make sure it's not something that is used for one vehicle but not another.

I did just a tad bit of welding and was able to get the axle in no problem. I had to buy new rotors as the older ones had been turned once and were near their minimum width. I wound up having to get a new hub too! Anyhow I'm getting everything together and just have quick question on the...

Well what's interesting is that the other side fits just fine. It's just the drivers side that doesn't want to go in. I'm going to hit the knuckle with a dremel tool very lightly just to knock off the slight surface rust and grime and then maybe put a little grease on there and see if that helps.

They are fully seated with the snap rings seated. I will try and dig some of the old bearing cups out of the trash but if I remember correcty they were a little shorter. Edit to add: It will be next week before I get back to it. I am out of town for training starting tomorrow. The wife...

Nobody?

A new video and a new question:

Nobody knows huh? Ok well I ordered new axles. I guess I need to let a pro get out the old u-joints for me.

Arghh!!! I pressed out the other side and I took it really really slow. Got the clips removed, brushed off all the rust around the outside of the cups, put some penetrating oil on there. Took it nice an slow in the press. I think it still managed to bend the ears. These things are really...

This thing just keeps getting better and better! My u-joint ears are bent on the wheel that locked up! After looking around on the internet it's looking like I'm just going to have to buy some new. or used axle stubs. This was always a possibility from the beginning and was pointed out...

Ok all it looks like we are rounding third to home base. FMJ may have found what we are looking for but in case anyone wants to know the GM part number is: 6273934 Thanks for finding the autozone one. I'm going to order them now and hopefully I'll have them Saturday. Once I get that it's...

The seal is all I need now. I have all the parts for the hub. I finished taking apart the drivers side and it turns out that it is in need of a seal as well. I went ahead and gor u-joints for both front axles and I'm going to go ahead and replace those since I have them out. Do you think...

Sorry I haven't been able to post in a while guys. I have been busy with a new job and this last weekend was my anniversary so I didn't have a chance to work on the truck until just today. Anyhow today I went ahead and started tearing into the driver's side of the truck to figure out what a...

OK the spindle came on UPS yesterday. I'm looking through all the parts manuals and such but I'm having a hard time figuring out all the parts I'm going to need. I have a new set of Warn lockouts, the new spindle which came with a seal kit and a inner bearing already installed. I know I need...
