Anyone have a way of separating the hub from the knuckle? Once again, it looked so easy in the FSM and 10 years of mag chloride and corrosion says not so fast.


Thanks, Craig

Do they have bolts coming in from the back? Are the axle splines free to slide? Use a punch and hammer to free hub from knuckle.

3 bolts from the back. Then a special tool you thread into the stop. Turn the engine on and turn the wheel. Pops right off. If no tool, then you'll need an air hammer.

I already got the bolts out, that is why the holes in the picture are empty. I gave up and just pulled the entire knuckle out and put in the new half shafts.
