I heard about a guy that never made a mistake and when people found out they hung him up on a cross. We all make mistakes and how we handle them makes us the people we are. Doing a nice job young man. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
Jordan, I loved how easy those bearings were to put together...unlike my '16 explorer rear hub/bearing that is rusted on solid - still can't get that off!
Loved the flipped axle at the start, never (or maybe never) happens to me. I sympathize with you on spring arriving and the outdoor projects looming in importance. btw, was that 'ball' for the front axle made of bronze?? the color of it sure made it appear that way.
@@HumbleAcres yes, extremely interesting, and the bronze ball being softer than the two axle halves would become the 'wear' item and be easily replaced if needed. It seems like a great way to go vs. u-joints like in my 75 F250, but I guess if it didn't have disadvantages, it would still be in use.
Get some safety wire players, they twist the wire in double strands. There is a correct way to do that. A single stand is not correct. Just saying safety first right retired USAF, and I do love the old fj's.
Jordon, I sent you a manual which is suppose to arrive on 25 April. Give me note so I can talk to you. You should have my E-mail address. I know you have gotten the I&T manual I sent you a while back. Tom.
LOL ! -- No one actually noticed that "minor" error, Jordan 🤣🤣🤣 But now you've got me hooked ! -- I look forward to your videos --- Please Stay Safe !
Great job young man. It is looking good. Great video. Thank you Jordan. 👍

I was just at SOR today before heading to the airport. Kinda wish I would have bought the rebuild kit now
That was great Jordan enjoyed it thank you for sharing and your time with the FJ can't wait for next video
Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoy your videos. When will you be getting back to it?
LOOKIN' GOOD, KEEP SAFE...
Thanks
Nice work
Thanks
I was wondering when you put the diff on the driver's side! I'm only aware because I'm knee deep in a knuckle rebuild on a FJ60.

It does appear that it’s made of bronze, but it’s hard to tell. Very interesting design though.

Would there be a way to install grease fittings where that plug is? How do you get fresh grease through the bushings and bearings?
Yes, you can install a Zerk fitting to top up the knuckle joint with lithium moly grease
Can u set a link to shops for bj/fj products ?
👍
I have the exact same axle and hubs in my 72 fj. Do you know if it's possible to do a disc brake conversion for this style?
hi ithink you put the axel seals on backwards
my bad i see how it works the metal plate secures it together good job art
Yeah, I think I had it right I followed the manual. Thanks
Did you have to do any touch-ups to the paint?
I did not

Jordon,

You’re not a mechanic
