I searched LOL
and I did look at c-speed.
As of now the front knuckles are off the car and I am trying to get the busted axles out of the knuckles.
I removed the axle nuts and the inboard side is already off. So I only need to get the outboard side off both the passenger and driver knuckle.
Looking at the Helms and c-speed it looks as if I just need to give the axles a little whack and they should pop out, but they didnt come out.
Since these axles are toast I used a large metal mallot and whacked it and it still didn't come out. I think its because the whole f'in thing is rusted together
So who has some tips from removing axles from old *** knuckles????
Paid 400 bucks for these front five lug and so far I have spent 76 on some OEM lower ball joints and 100 for new rotors and rotor screws. Help me so I can get the swap in hahahahah

Funny, I always thought Nick's mom was straight.

I had the same problem when doing a brake swap @ Jacksons house. The axle was broken but somehow stuck in the knuckle. I said f it and bought a eg6 knuckle. A few weeks later I was at his parents and his dad got it out with a harmonic balancer puller. I dont know what kind of tools you have access to but you use a impact gun for it.
Looks like this

They make different kinds. I hope this helps.
