After pressure washing the replace front axle, initial inspection of the axle looked good. Swivel balls were in very good condition. Only a very small amount of pitting. Calipers were fairly good, but would be overhauled anyway. Discs will be replaced anyway as I already have these as replacements.
Removed the hub and swivel housings first, and got the axle casing onto stands to continue the overhal. Full inspection of the swivels is now possible and luckily don't need replacing. This saves quite a bit of money.
The main axle casing was cleaned up with a wire wheel on the grinder, and primed ready for painting. Then was painted up in Gloss Black polyurethane paint.
Swivel components were then all rebuilt onto the axle, using new components. Pictures to follow later of the fully rebuilt axle.
