Hi everyone, Can someone give me a brief instruction on how to install my new drop spindles? So I have some idea of what I'm getting into. Do I need any special tools besides a ball joint puller?
i think you might have to take off your wheel too so you will need a 4 way... Just joking that should be it
Put them on the same way you take the stock ones off... seriously though it's real simple and shouldn't take more than 30 mins a side.
Get new wheel bearings and pack them too since your going to have to remove the rotors. I would say at least 2 hours of work depending how easy your ball joints come off. SD YOTA and I know all too well what a pain these can be. 17mm and 12mm or 10mm sockets and wrenches is what we used if I remember correctly.
Plus, the adapter piece thats on the tierod that connects to the spindles has to come off. With my Belltech spindles, the tierod connects right to the spindle. If regular maintance have not been done on the truck it will take a few hours. Now that I think about it, you'll have to adjust your tierods in also. My wheels toed out pretty bad when we installed mine. If the don't come lose, the best way to get them lose is to heat them up a little.
