Hey guys.. I guess i'm just going to take my entire hub off and then take it to a shop and have the ball joint pressed out cuz I can't get my hands on a pressing kit and I dont feel like payin hundreds of bucks for something i'm only doing once... (hopefully)

I know how to get most everything off but my only question is the hoses that are connected to the entire thing. I believe theyre brake lines. If I can take off those wires then I know how to get it off but that really is the only issue i'm having.

Anyone have some illustrations or pictures that will show me how to do it?

 

I just realize I might be calling it the wrong name. I'm trying to get the entire thing that has the ball joint on it off. I think its called a hub? Iono, Brake assembly? I duno whatever its called I need it off

Its called the Knuckle,

remove the brake caliper and mount, then take off the rotor, then remove the tire rod, then the axle( remove the axle nut ) then disconnect the lower ball joint from the lower control arm, then the upper ball joint. and wala it comes out.

 

sorry i dont know the answer to you question but i did think of something that may be useful to you... instead of taking it to a shop to do you could go to Kragen and just rent the ball joint press and then return when your done... i think it costs like $6 a day.

 

Hmm.. what is Kragen? I live in WA so it's kind of different like for example we don't have macy's in WA like u do... =P
