Going to do this installation this Saturday. Is there any tricks of the trade that I should know, or that someone has experience?
Trying to find out how hard this installation
will be or if I'll need special tools to make it easier?

Thoughts or comments??

Doug

 

An Impact Wrench will make your life a lot easier. Other than that, Normal tools.

Domo,
make sure that you start with the driver's side. You will have to file the ABS sensor in order for it to fit.Have a torque wrench ,bearing grease and a puller handy. It took me about 4 hrs to do it by myself. Try to get a friend to help you out and you will be done in about 2 hrs.Good luck. If you have any questions e-mail me. veloci@gateway.net

Domo,
I just got my spindles from UPS today and I am going to install them next Saturday. Let me know how things go. Good luck.

I was suprised to read the insert about filing the hole for the antilock sensor.

CCLA-
Will an air rachet do instead of an impact wrench?

 

Yes An Air rachet will help too. The reason I mentioned the Impact was because of the quickness of it. An Air rachet is quick too so you should be fine.

 

I've got the air rachet, the impact wrench
and picking up cam bolts today. I think I'm all set for tomorrow. Tune in Monday to see how it went. Or if you want to hear it first hand give me a call and I'll tell you all about it.

See-ya

The truck looks good, and very happy with the result. In short the installation went fine, but had a problem with the toe alignment. It was way out of wack. Luckily my brother knew how to make the necessary adjustments and was able to make the truck driveable. I'm sure the alignment is still a little out, but I'm waiting until I get new rims and tires this Wednesday before taking it to a alignment shop. That way it's all done at once..

 

Do you have a picture after the spindle lift?

 

Don't have any pictures yet. I'll let you know when I do..
