LOL I used to live a little ways away from Elliot and his friend lived right down my street and he spotted my 60 one day.

HAHA whoa... all of the Aurora yota guys are on this forum! Thanks for the offer Stephen, feel free to come down to the garage sometime and drink a beer. I cleaned everything last night and will be reassembling tomorrow night.

I'm no longer an Aurora yota guy I'm now a Westminster yota guy.

Northside? I've heard of it but never been there.
Too scary for me.

What are the larger seals for? Listed as #9 in the picture. I don't think I've run across those yet. I really should get an FSM.
Heres the progress as of a couple nights ago.

They look like the big ones that go in the hub after you drop the inner wheel bearing in.
you really got that thing clean.. take a look at that steering box!

Thanks for the heads up, that must be where that thing goes. I'll be separating the hub/rotor and reinstalling everything this afternoon so I'm sure I'll find a home for it somewhere.

Don't worry if the first side takes a long time - my first axle service took 27 hours over 3 days, and I think the first side took 16 or 18 hours or something. I don't know anyone yet who took longer than me
I think I may officially have you beat. Now I'm just trying to find time to go get the wheel studs pressed into my new rotor/hub. Dang machine shop is only open while I'm at work.
Otherwise things went fairly smoothly.

do what the rest of us do and use a BFH and then suck them on with a lug nut. GIT'r done

just push the studs most of the way through and use an old lug nut to pull them through. bolt the wheel to it and torque it if there are not enough threads or you feel like stuff's getting damaged.

cleaning everything up doesn't count. And disassembling the hub/rotor doesn't count. That's extra work
It's been a while since I worked on a 60 axle, but I'm pretty sure you didn't have to take off the leaf spring.. that may be what's taking so long.

You actually DO have to remove the leaf spring. It helps to get the johnson rod extracticator bearings out. Also it makes it easier if you remove the door panels for extra leverage.
I tried the method to get the new wheels studs to seat but no go. Besides I need at least an inch of thread showing because I'm using wheel spacers for my new wheels. The machine shop will be able to handle it for cheaper than what my frustration is worth.
