I'll take a stab at this.....

1. (1) Knuckle seal kit - Toyota
2. (4) Knuckle bearings - Toyota
3. (2) Inner axle seal - Toyota
4. (2) Hub star gasket - Toyota
5. (2) Wheel bearings - inner - any parts store or Toyota
6. (2) Wheel bearings - inner - any parts store or Toyota
7. (2) Inner wheel bearing seal - any parts store or Toyota
8. (1) (optional) backing plate kit for wiper seal - Toyota (also includes
an extra set of felts and wipers)
9. (4) tubes of grease
10. (1,000,000) shop towels ;-)

Costs about $400 total if I recall. Might as well have the housing
sandblasted and piant it while you are tearing it down that far. Sure does
look nice!
