NEW Front Bearings and Disc install (pics) - oh what fun...

[Ldub]

I'm getting ready to tackle this project so I am reviving this thread.
How many seals are needed? The PlanetIsuzu gives part numbers, but, no quantities. How many did you need to get the job done? When the VX goes down, I need to have everything I need or I'm stuck.

2 inner grease seals, 1 ea side.
A little silicone keeps the grease from leaking out of the outer drive flanges & dust cap...

Not sure about the front bearings, but I learned some interesting things about the rear bearings this week. The rear bearings were only made by two or three manufacturers. Regardless of the package or company, they come from the same factory. They were made years ago, and often come with the 89-91 collar that retains the rear bearing. Finding the correct collar to hold the bearing requires going through Isuzu. In theory, the collar is reusable, but sometimes breaks on removal(20K press and a torch) or even during install when you press em in. This is why its taking me two weeks to change rear wheel bearings in the RS, which of course are the same in all the trooper/VX since 1991. Lessons learned.....

Thanks bud. I wasn"t sure if the silicone was enough. I hate to get into a repair to find I need more parts. I got the pads, rotors, hardware and lube only to find out there's more to doing the front brakes than the rears. The rear was a cake walk.
