I am planning on putting new seals (input and spindle) on the geared hubs. I have read the TM and this appears to be a pretty straight forward project. But a lot of things seem straight forward until you get into them. I do see that there is a special tool required to remove the nut on when working on the spindle seal. is this necessary (if so where do I get one) and if not what is the work around. I am pretty mechanical and do all the typical maintenance on my vehicles (brakes, bearings, u-joints, diff seals, etc..) anything I need to watch out for? A local truck shop has done some for a few of my friends, but they figure about $750 parts and labor. My pockets are not that deep.
If there is a thread somewhere about this, please point me to it. I did a forum search, but did not come up with anything specific to the Geared Hubs.
Also, any information on the part numbers that can be picked up readily at a local auto parts store would be nice. I would also happily accept an education on using the p/n out of the TM and finding a conversion to auto parts store part numbers.
