I'm a weekend mechanic, I do just about all of the upgrade/installs on my Jeep (except when it came to doing the gear upgrades), however I get a bit nervous when I start to pull apart my front steering and the front axle shafts. I have seen a few installation videos on the RCV Axles and the Synergy Tie rod, not much on the Reid Knuckles and the High Steer. I do know that all of the components do work well together (from what I have seen and researched) and I know that I need to pick up a socket for the removal of the axles from the shaft and I see there are 2 different size castle nuts that I'll need to pick up some castle sockets for (still do not know what sizes yet).
All components are in hand and my plan is to start the installs over the coming week, but before I do I wanted to reach out to the community to those that have already completed these types of installs and see if there are any "gotchas" that I should know about before I begin.
I am using this as another opportunity to get to "know my Jeep" and I'll be doing installation videos and write-ups on it as well, so I can pass the knowledge down the line. Any insight or information that you have that can help, let me know. I'd appreciate any feedback to make it so I don't have my Jeep up on a lift for a few weeks while I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure it all out.
Thanks folks!
