| Knuckles-Out List | |
By Ryan Flud
As I understand it the following items are included when you get everything from the knuckle out:
Note: The items in bold are things that are “must have” items. The other items are items you can buy at your local parts store. You may be able to get the locking nut/lock-ring washer/adjusting nut and the caliper support key and spring from a parts store or maybe a Ford dealership. I got those items from the parts yard so I have no idea if you can get them elsewhere.
-
The knuckle
-
The brake backing plate
-
The caliper holder (Haynes calls this the Anchor plate)
-
The spindle
-
Inner and outer wheel bearings and bearing races (inside the
hub/rotor assembly. Definitely should be replaced) -
Hub/rotor assembly
-
Wheel bearing locking nut, lock-ring washer (washer with
several holes around the center hole), wheel bearing adjusting
nut -
Caliper (maybe the brake lines)
-
The caliper support key and spring
-
Locking hubs (you’ll probably want to replace these anyway so I
would worry about this part)
The only pieces I actually used from the ’79 Bronco were:
-
The knuckle
-
The brake backing plate
-
The caliper holder (Haynes calls this the Anchor plate)
-
The spindle
-
Wheel bearing locking nut, lock-ring washer (washer with several
