i've posted and i see nothing specific on how to get that thing out of the spindle/clamp.
i'm changing the front right wheel bearing. I have everything off of the spindle except the ball joint, axel (of course) and the strut.
if i pry the control arm down the ball joint "nipple" comes out of the clamp to the point of where that channel/ridge is. then the remaining part at the top is stuck FAST in there.
i've tried jacking up the suspension and prying with a big screwdriver.
i've read that it may help to loosen up the strut bearing nut at the top of the strut. any comments?
do i need one of those ball joint fork removal thingies? my feeling is that it won't get all the way in there or will damage the ball joint boot.
i had it almost all the way out after an hour and got stuck here. argh.
thanks for any help/comments
