1 Answers
Support with a jack. Remove the wheel and tire assembly. Remove the brake caliper assembly. Remove the cotter pin from the drive axle. Use a rod to prevent the wheel from rotating and loosen the hub nut. Using the removal tool HT2520000, detach the tie rod end ball joint from the steering knuckle. Remove the nuts securing the control arm to the steering knuckle and ball joint. Drain the drive axle lubricant. Pull the hub/steering knuckle assembly away from the vehicle to separate the drive shaft from the drive axle. Properly support the engine and remove any brackets if present. Use a wheel puller to press the drive shaft out of the hub/steering knuckle assembly.
