54 mm socket for knuckle service?

[Kipper]

Sweet! Did you replace trunion and wheel bearings or just re-pack?

yes, new bearings all the way around

For future reference, Toyota dealers often carry the inexpensive giant-sized sockets for front end hubs. I find that the dealer in Colo Springs (Liberty) has a fair amount of good stuff, will cut you deals, and doesn't charge shipping.

makes doing front axle service/birf jobs much easier. it eliminates the small rubber hose, coupler, and hard line that connects to the caliper. basically makes it so there is one long rubber hose that goes from the main brake line on the axle tube direct to the caliper. you can then pull the caliper, get it out of the way, and slide the backing plate off without having to open a brake line next time around.

Do you have a p/n?

The fittings match up? Or do you need an adapter on the caliper?

Thanks!

yeah, everything matches up. I'll check this afternoon for a p/n. coming to the denver meeting tonight?

I bought one at the Tool King off 6th avenue on the frontage road near Simms/Union. It is actually a 55mm but worked fine, I used it today. It is stamped steel and cost a whole 12 bucks, one of the better tool investments I've made lately.

Sorry no, did not make it.

If you come across a p/n, let me know. I am hoping to swap 60 knuckles onto the Pig someday soon...
