Knuckle help!!!!

[cptmax]

Does anyone know how to replace the knuckes on a D30?? Do I have to press them in or just tighten the screws? HELP!

three 12 point 13mm bolts on the bakk of the knuckle DO NOT FORCE IT WITH A 6pt socket it WILL strip

take the wheel off, then the calipers then those bolts then the nuts off the upper and lower balljoints, tap witha hammer and they should drop off.

I had to tap with a 5lb sledge :D

Follow the first bit of directions here (http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/d30/axle-1.htm) but DONT TAKE THE AXLE NUT OFF (the part where they use an air wrench skip the part about takin the cotter pin out of it too)

they just bolt right back up the way they came off no pressing needed

TAPPING with a 5 lb sledge? Whatever works!

Since you have the knuckle off, you might as well replace the ball joints. They are a little expensive but worth the extra time/money. You will also need to rent the ball joint press to install them.

I may as well. Thanks for the suggestion!
