Ok so i am in the process of replacing my front axle u joints (wheel joints). So far i have removed the tire, brake caliper, disk brake, and loosend the 4 bolts on the back side. and now i can not seem to get the hub and bearing separated...i have tryed using the socket and extention with no luck ( i may be doing it wrong if anyone can refresh my memory on exactly how it is done and which bolt to put the extention on i would appreciate it). i am also not sure what kind of puller will work. And do you have to remove the ball joints also??? if anyone can point me in the right direction i could really use it.

 

Here is a link to MR.GADGETS write up on how to do it. This should answer all of your questions, if not ask again.

use lots of pb blaster or your favorite penetrating oil

 

after the hub and bearing is separated will the axle and u joint fit through the hole in the spindle where the bearing came out of ? i havent got the bearing separated yet but it seems like even when i do that the axle and u joint wont fit through the spindle, but im probably wrong?

 

yes it will fit
