Thanks mate that's perfect, looks like they're all in order so I might be able to put it all together in a word document and print it all out.
Cheers

Looks like this is going to be my next job on the troll.

I've got it booked in for late Jan to do the rear main seal finally pulled my finger out, definitely not doing that at home and have been quoted $375 to do the hub, one side. With one new seal kit wont the other side leak soon. I mean the old seal won't hold as good as the new one therefore leak.

I'm considering doing both sides at home, just not to sure if it's something that I can handle. I've gone as far as replacing a spindle and bearings, how much more is involved and what specialist tools are required if any.

More than half way there. If you had no issues doing that part then you'd be fine to do the rest.

Should I be replacing bearings as well.
Wheel bearings were changed 40,000 km ago and offset king was less than that. Was just going to repack them.

I'd replace. Most of the work is in the labour for this job. Replace bearings, repack the old ones and put them in a zip lock bag in the back of the truck as spares.

yeah i would replace all but the Offset King pin bearing. It has not done that much work and they are expensive.

Don't think this is going to happen.
Time poor. We get back from Tassie on a Thursday night and I'm back to work on Monday morning. While the troll is in for the rear main I thing I'll get both hubs done.
