So the past week I've been doing the front steering/suspension, and brakes all the way around. Thankfully I've been riding the bike, so I have the time to work on the truck.
Also finally took care of the leaking power steering lines. Got all the p/s fluid cleaned up off the truck.
Tear down went well. Got everything out the first day. Now I'm working on install. So far I have the Pitman arm, idler arm/bracket, center link re-installed and sway bar bushings installed.
Side note: Removing the pitman arm was a pain in the ass. Had to unmount the whole steering box to fit the pitman arm puller in. But overall only took about 10 minutes.
I got the bushings pressed out out of the upper and lower controls arms, and ball joints out of the lower. Still need to remove the upper ball joints. Problem I ran into today, is that I ordered the wrong bushings for the lower control arms. So those should be in Friday.
Figured I'd get the brake lines and calipers in order while I wait on bushings. One of the caliper pistons is completely seized(I knew it was having problems that why I broke into it when I did). I tried everything I could to get the piston out, no luck. Buying new calipers tomorrow(only about 10 bucks more than a piston).
This week while I'm waiting on the bushings, I'm going to finish up with the brake calipers, put the hubs/discs together(all new w/new studs), tie rods built up, upper ball joints replaced, press in the upper control arm bushings in.
Basically my goal is to get it to where all I have left is installing the lower control arm bushings, then put it all back together, and tackle the rear brakes.
