Re: tjs 72 Blazer Build

Front axle back together. Thanks to those here who have recently gone before me, I was well versed on how to get the Ball joint pre-loads set correctly. I put new front axles in but they don't make the 71/72. Have to get 73+. Just means the larger U-joint. Just barely fits through the knuckle! Also the seal at the back of the Spindle is a little different, I had to machined my 72 spindle 0.125 deeper where the spindle bearing and seal go. In the end it all went together no problem after lots of homework ahead of time.
