Re: replace u-joint TRICK

One out of many daves 25 March 2005 17:14:08
 Someone had posted a method to easily remove the hub out of the knuckle that
makes sense. I have not tried this trick yet but it should reduce damage
and time making this a 0.5 job taking off the hub instead of 1.5 hours. <g>

Basically you can loosen that center axle nut, remove caliper bolts and
loosen the hub bolts then pry against the wheel and the steering knuckle at
the tie rod. Some people caution doing this with the mag wheels so I
suggest using a steel wheel then. I guess I would also remove the caliper
out of the way while switching to the steel wheel. ;-)­

Of course use anti-seize during reassembly. ;-)­
