removing steering nuckle
ok so im trying to remove my steering nuckle so i can take it to have the hub pressed out. ive removed the top nut that attaches to the upper a-arm(camber arm). ive removed the bottom nut that attaches it to the bottom arm and ive removed the nut that connects it to the steering arm. i cant get the steering arm out nor remove the nuckle. do i have to remove the struts? lmk what im doing wrong because i need to get this out tonight.

Don't worry about buying a fork, just hit the edge of the knuckle with a hammer a few times and it will pop out. Just don't hit it like a girl. And leave the castle nut slightly on the thread so it doesn't get damaged when you miss the first time.

it should pop right out after a few good hits.

when i did mine i f'ed up the upper and lower ball joint and the tie rod end wich was already f'ed up. tie rod end at napa was like $30. and the lower was like $40 i think but the upper you have to replace the whole arm but i was putting on a skunk 2 camber kit and that replaces the whole arm and ball joint. to get the ball joint out of the knuckle you need a press. you can pay someone to do it or i bought a cheap press at harbor frieght for $30. ?'s pm me

i think im just going to clean off the grease and hope for the best. so far i cant tell that there riped or anything, just smashed alot of the grease out. jesus this shit sucks. all this just to replace the wheel studs.
