after Simons particularly good thread with pics, parts and descritpion, id like to rebuild my Gs front hubs too. i appreciate simon put up the part numbers he used, i still have a couple of q's...

1)Harald on abc4x4.com site lists the following parts for 460s as being used
007 997 0447 (x2) seal ring
007 997 0347 (x2) seal ring
460 997 0040 (x4) seal ring (simon listed this part but not on Haralds site?)
460 332 0033 (x4) expansion/tincap
460 331 0080 (x2) gasket
460 331 0180 (x2) gasket
460 334 0259 (x2) seal ring
460 994 0012 (x2) lock ring
005 997 7047 seal (x2) - bearings (ensure FAG rather than Timkens which arent reportedly as reliable)
outer 008 981 5905 [x2] (FAG KLM503349a)
inner 008 981 6205 [x2] (FAG KLM503310)
uncertain if these parts actually needed
000 981 5905 [x4] (king pin bearings needed?? only lists Timken part)
460 990 0260 slotted spindle nut [x4]
does anyone know if all these things are requried??

further, what do you think about the FAG bearing comment rather than Timkens?

lastly, which one of above is CV dust boot which was mentioned in simons post but reportedly expensive??

any help appreciated

To know what parts you need for your G use the EPC:
