Grant, I did think about the work hardening but they were fine.

Today I greased up the new front out wheel bearings. I ordered a pair of Timken 399a’s. They pressed in just fine. I also installed new hub seals.

Lastly I removed the front left steering knuckle for rebuilding. I’ll need to work out the inner axle seal and the felt for the seal.

One question on the rebuild of the knuckle. I’m planning on sandblasting the outer part but what should I do about the polished surface where there is some rust? I don’t feel that sandblasting is the best
