Couple Dana 60 questions

[MTBLAZER89]

1. The spindle rebuild kit. What order do the seals go on the shaft behind the spindle? What direction do the seals face?

2. How hard should it be to turn the knuckle after rebuilding the kingpins? I used one washer on top of the spring.

3. What length bolts from the spring plate to the housing? Specifically how deep do they thread into the housing? I got the Superlift kit and the studs are way too long.


I think thats it for now

1. This is how the spindle seals go.
2. I just rebuilt my kingpins. I didn't use any washers. The knuckles turn stiff but not real hard.
3. I can't remember how long my bolts are. What I did is screw a bolt into the housing as far as it would go, marked the bolt close to the housing, remove the bolt, then measure from the mark to the end of the bolt. I bought a longer bolt than I needed and cut it off so I could get the most thread engagement.

Ok yeah I got the bolts figured out.

I got the little seal inside the spindle with the cup facing towards the bearing. The spacer goes with beveled edge facing the slinger and the large seal goes over top of that right?

Think thats how your pic shows it. Thanks

Yes, you have it right.
