Replacement of Knuckle Assembly
NOTE: In the event that knuckles are
received with the sockets and snap ring
assembled, along with the bottom torque
prevailing nut, top castilation nut, split sleeve
and cotter key, it is recommended that after
all of the old parts are removed from the
yoke, the steps listed below are to be followed
for assembly of the knuckle to the yoke:
1. Assemble knuckle to yoke. Assemble bottom torque
prevailing nut. Torque nut to 70-90 ft. lbs.
NOTE: If the stud turns while attempting to
torque this nut, assemble the top nut and
tighten till it is snug. This will pull the
bottom stud into the tapered hole of the yoke
and will prevent it from turning while
torquing up the nut. After you have applied
the 70-90 ft. lbs. Only use this method when
necessary.
2. Remove the top nut.
3. Assemble Sleeve. Torque sleeve to 50 ft. lbs. using
Spanner J-23447.
4. Assemble top nut. Torque nut to 100 ft. lbs. Tighten
nut to line up the hole of the stud to the next
castilation on slot of the nut.
NOTE: Do not loosen nut to install cotter
pin, apply additional torque, if necessary, to
line up hole in stud with slot in nut.
5. Assemble cotter key.

If Tie Rod and Steering Arm Were Removed:
a. Assemble the steering arm using the three stud
adapters and three new self-locking nuts.
Torque the nuts to 90 ft. lbs.
b. Assemble the tie rod to the knuckle arm. Torque
the tie rod nuts to 45 ft. lbs. and install cotter
pin.
7. Using the outer wheel bearing spindle nut as an
installer, assemble the inner axle slinger (yoke side)
to the shaft. Place spindle nut in a vise and the
slinger over the end of the shaft. Tap on the end of
the shaft with a soft hammer until the slinger is
fully seated.
8
. Assemble the outer axle slinger (spindle side) to the
shaft using one of the wheel spindles as a starting
