What extra bits do I need to get with the swivel hub kit I'm going to do the wheel bearings as we'll do I need Trail Safe Wiper Seal Kit as we'll and Brass Spindle Bush - Pair

What else do I need while I'm doing the brakes upgrade and what grease do I need to get

Just order the whole kit from locktup, its got everything in it, I think wheel bearings aren't included though, so order them too.
They also have the Marlin Crawler HD inner seals.
Get a good quality Hitemp bearing grease for the wheel bearings, and pack the bearings with grease properly.
And a good quality axle grease and pack the inside of the knuckles with it.
Youll need a lot of rags.

If you've never done the front end rebuild before, then I suggest the following.....
Theres a thread in the Lux bible, about how to rebuild the front end. Theres a link to a 4x4wire page, that has step by step and pics. Print it out and have it beside you.
Get a 54mm hub socket, some circlip pliers.

Just take your time, and as you pull parts off, clean it and keep them in order of how they came out so you know how they go back in.
