I finished my knuckle rebuilds this last weekend. Not bad at all. It will either be a tone ring (abs equipped) or a spacer behind the spindle 4 pin nut never both. Make sure you remove the inner races from the spindles if the bearing broke when you pressed it apart.
***Weld the gusset with a bare knuckle (no bearing or ball joint) before pressing in new bearing and ball joint!***
Install bearing in this order:
1. Lube bearing pocket and bearing outer race and press the bearing in with the metal seal facing outwards. Only press on the outer race of new bearing (take a old bearing apart and use the outer race).
2. Install new snap ring
3. Install outer knuckle dust seal
4. Install dust shield
5. Lube and press in spindle onto bearing, making sure to support the inner race.
6. Install spacer OR tone ring in correct orientation.
7. Install and torque the spindle 4 pin nut to 205 ftlbs. For manual hub swap only. Otherwise press on spacer.
8. Install inner knuckle seal
9. Sit back and have a cold one.
