KZJ78 spindle bush query

Post by scooby88 »

Hi all,
So I'm replacing bearings and axle seals and see the spindle bush has a seal behind it. I can't find a diagram with this.
I feel while I'm In here I should change this too.

What's the best advice?
Buy a puller and change the bush/ seal?
Get a whole new spindle??

Or just put or back in??? Does it 'seal' much in???

Thanks

If you replace the seals, just make sure that the lip faces the correct way, Seal is used to stop water from entering the electric hubs.

Thanks for your help.
Old blue - do you think I need the seal type if I have swapped to manual hubs? Or can I use the non seal bush?
Thanks

First, Do you need to replace this bush, they would only ware out if there were no grease in the knuckles, Use an internal micrometre and the size should be 33.5mm ID, if you need to replace it I think the only difference is the electric hub type is shorter because of the seal width.
