hey guys, im trying to remove the steering nuckle so i can take my drive shaft out but im havin trouble geting the steering nuckle off the ball joint it dosnt seem to wanna budge, any help will be apreciated

Hmm I know they way Ive done it wont actually be right, But use a mallet to knock it down, Youve really gotta put alot of force into it, you'll break the taper sooner or later.
If not, piece of wood on top, and whack the shit out of it with a normal (heavy not pissy) hammer

pretty sure you don't need to remove the steering knuckle to remove the drive shaft.

just undo the strut from the hub, undo the pin and the drive shaft almost falls out. I know that's how the passenger side one was, can't imagine the driver side is much different.

cheers,

driver side is the same, you have 2 x 14mm bolts holding a support bracket to the block.

well ive tryed it dosnt just fall out for me lol, the ball joint is restriciting the movment of the drive shaft u cant pull it forward enough

No they are right (not thinking right today) You can leave the steering knuckle attached.

The shaft wont just "fall out" you'll need a tyre lever or a pry bar to slowly and carefully pry it from the GB housing

lol yeh they are right but i got the steering nuckle off and the drive shaft came out realy easily thanx for ya help fellas cheers
