Now its time to get all your bearings ready to go into the new front end.

Did i mention the bearing grease press??? !!!





Push the grease through the bearing until it comes out the top!!! Yep all done in seconds! Regardless of the size of bearing! OH YEAH!!!!





Then press the king pin bearings back onto the cups with the vice. Nice and straight. Nice and tight. I used a socket to protect the bearing.





I was doing all 4 at once so i matched the outer races with the bearings and sat them in to protect and stay together.





So using the Bearing Race insert tool again (or a good sized socket) install the outer king pin race into the Knuckle.







I use Anti Seize onto the bolts so i can undo them again next time.



Install the top bolts loosely.





Then fit up the bottom one too.





Tighten all bolts





bed in the rear scraper seal and install the cover plate. This can be a little confusing, take your time and it will bed in perfectly.
