can be a few tricky parts to the job so your best off having a manual in front of you. gregorys are good and should be on shelf at most repco/bursons

Its a pretty easy job really, just take your time. Hardest part was getting the seals out from under the king pin bearings without stuffing them. Also remember how many shims you take from each side top and bottom and put the same back. Then start taking or adding to get the right feel. It all comes off without too much hassle. I just laid it all out as I took it off and put it all back in in the reverse order.

Think it was a friday job actually, took all day, first hub took the longest. Safaris/patrols are very simple vehicles to work on compared to others :D
