    Hello all.

    Looking for a detailed description (video pref) of how to remove the steering knuckle to have a bad front passenger side bearing taken out and replaced.

    I plan on having a shop swap the bearing once I have the knuckle removed, but am having difficulty with the removal.

    Looking for tool requirments (Looks like I will need a pickle fork?), tips, and tricks

    Thanks!

    Update:

    I was going about the removal all wrong - all I needed was a three pound hammer to tap out the control arms and steering.

    anyone have the torque specs for throwing this back together?

    Thanks,
    S
