Hi BG, did you have to disconnect the abs, going to do mine next week Cheers, Ian -
Some photos for you if your going to do the same soon.
This shows the two blobs of weld on the races, as you can see they were dry and pitted with rust too.

Packed some grease into the near-side king-pin bearings today, they looked to be dry, and there was no sealant
to stop water ingress. My off-side was replaced the other day and the top surfaces of the pins were well rusted and crusty, but the near-side were not they looked new so I guess they were replaced last year along with the bearings, maybe it had failed the mot before I bought it. My surprise was 1. very little evidence of grease on withdrawing the pins both top and bottom and 2. no sealant evident. I packed some grease in and sealed them with 300 degree temp silicon.
Gave the brake a clean and copper grease were I should to keep things moving.
Hope this helps with your rebuild....

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Fitted a 2wd low switch 
Switches are expensive! In The Olden Days, they were a few coppers, now they are 20 times more expensive.

Thanks Facade, I was thinking about this a couple of week ago but couldn't find the link,
if anyone's done this on the switch select 4wd models, please let me know, else a little detective work will be required.
found Busta's OP here

The ones I ordered from China for what I expected to pay (50p each) haven't come yet, and I wanted one now.

Yeah but you couldn't get what you wanted in the olden days. I used to trawl the electronic stores for hours to find waht I needed. Now they are on eBay for peanuts. :whistle:
