Steering Knuckle Rebuild

Posted by Chris Davis on Wednesday, February 01, 2006 at 6:10PM :

I need to go through the seals, bushings, and bearings on my WC-51 front axle and have never torn into the steering knuckle on one of these trucks before. I have the manual and have read the section a couple times, but I’m still unclear on the process. A while ago… (year or so maybe?) someone posted an excellent “how-to” site with photos and directions for going through the front steering knuckle and replacing a top bushing with a bearing. Does anyone have the link for this? I checked the “best of forum” but didn’t see it.

I remember there were lots of photos and good description of the assembly. Was it Paul in NY who put the site together? Anyway… I’m interested in finding it again if it still exists.

Thanks,
