Hey man, just wanted to say this video is awesome. Im building a 75 ford f250 that i swapped a kingpin 60 into. Super informative video and helped me with some details during assembly that i forgot when i disassembled the axle a while back. Thanks, good work !

Great Video! I don't normally comment, but this was super helpful. Thanks.

Glad you liked the video. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

[@michaelreid4302]

Great video! Very informative and clear instructions. The only thing I can think of when the directions say to," lightly tap it but not drive it." Is the "taps" help the sealant not fly off...I feel like "driving" it in a harsh manner would make the rtv dissappear. No disrespect I have questioned that comment over and over from the instructions myself for days. ver my self

What's in the John Deere box? LOL.. Great video man! Where in the southeast?

[@bozoschoonover9051]

So you didn’t use the factory seals where you have to pull the ring gear to install them huh? Thanks so much. I’m rebuilding a ‘92 dodge Dana 60

[@Offroadfarm1]

I did use the seals in the pumpkin. I just installed those in a different video. check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6SlooJpobeXhc0 starts at 0:49. Those outer seals are mostly to keep trash out of the axle tube. Thanks for watching

[@SmokeySinglecab]

Can you post a part number for those outer axle tube seals by chance? Thanks

Thanks for watching! Just remember heat the inside metal sleeve only. Not the spring itself!! Good luck on your project

​@@Offroadfarm1 Thanks for the responses Chris! Appreciate the input! Cheers

Awesome video! Can you please provide a link for the rebuilt kit from Offroad design? I’m looking to buy a Dana 60 sometime soon and gonna rebuild it.

[@Offroadfarm1]

Glad you liked the video. Here is a link to the GM Dana 60 rebuild kit. www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/product/view/id/2092/s/gm-kingpin-dana-60-complete-rebuild-kit/category/494/ If you aren't sure what you need, give offroad design a call they have always been very helpful over the phone. Thanks for watching!

[@cmbullockiii]

I seem to be having a hell of a time finding the right wheel studs for my hub, any suggestions? The couple that are in mine are 2.5” under the head but everything I am seeing says 3”, also very expensive !

[@Offroadfarm1]

Try Dorman 610-283 they are not cheap. Thanks for watching

[@williamlock1017]

It would be nice to know what the part number is for the Bearing Kit is ?

[@Offroadfarm1]

Check out this link: www.offroaddesign.com/axles/dana-60-front-axle/wheel-end-parts-spindles-bearings-etc.html I'm not sure which bearings you are needing, there are several different kits. Thanks for watching!

[@rileynelson6447]

Is it possible to remove the steering knuckle without disassembling the hub? I need to change the kingpins but I had the hubs done a few years ago and don't want to mess with them if I don't have to.

[@Offroadfarm1]

It depends on what you need to repair/replace. If all you need to fix is the kingpin bushings or springs then yes. Just jack up one side, remove the top cap and replace what you need. If you need to replace the actual king pin then I don't think you can pull the knuckle with out pulling the hub and axle. You could probably replace the bottom king pin, I'm just not sure if you would have enough slack in the U-joint to get the knuckle over the top king pin. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project!

[@rileynelson6447]

@@Offroadfarm1 last year I replaced the upper bushings, and my camber out problem is still here, so I believe it's the lower bearing that needs replacing. When I did the upper bushings, I inspected the upper kingpins and they looked good, hardly any visible wear at all.

How's that outer seal working for ya? Rebuilding my off-road CUCV axle in a few days. Curious as to how well it kept stuff out or, rather, just held mud and dirt in

[@Offroadfarm1]

Sorry, my truck is not finished yet so I can't offer any feedback. Call offroad design and talk to them and see what they say. Good luck on your rebuild and thanks for watching.

[@Mitsokid1]

Easy to install and no issues on the CUCV axles. Get the smaller diameter one, 2.0-2.25" size if I remember correctly. ECGS has them in stock. I shoved some massive RCV axles through them with RCV CV grease and it was a super easy install and slide the axles through. Mine slid into the tubes with my fingers, and just one light tap with a seal driver, I added a bead of RTV on the outer race of the outside portion of the seal and gave them 24-hours to cure before putting the axles through.
