Getting a howl in the passenger side hub. Took it apart and found metal all over the place. After getting the locking hub out I notice there was a c clip that fell off it. It holds a coupler which the C clip was way over sized and never locked it in. The wheel is tight but internal to the spindle something happen and I'm not sure what. Where can you get rebuild kits for these?
The axle has wicked play which leads me to believe it is a bearing or the small needle bearing. Maybe that is what got chewed to pieces.

Nylons are for legs. I have never needed to replace the needle bearings in the spindle, yet. But then again I do mine every 25K miles.

I usually grease the crap out of them but I got to thinking,... getting a grease needle and going through the spline to help that needle bearing. Nylon sounds like a terrible idea actually... heat forgiving material etc etc.

I made a tool from a spindle nut a piece of black iron pipe , a welch plug ( freeze plug ) , and a grease fitting . You can screw the tool onto the spindle threads and use a grease gun to pack the spindle and bearing full of grease easily .

Rockauto has the bearings as:
Tinken, National, SKF B2414
Bearing/seal kit as National SBK3
Individual seals listed under 'spindle hub seal'...
I haven't had issues with that bearing... in solid axle trucks over the last 20 years. To me it seems in regular servicing of the axle (repack hub bearings, re&re ujoints, balljoints, inner shaft seals, etc) there's enough opportunity to check on it.
