Gotchas? - Wheel Bearing Housing (Spindle/Steering Knuckle) replacement
Hey all,
I replaced my frond axles a few weeks back and ended up snapping the pinch bolt on the driver side for the upper control arms. After reading through all the horror stories on the forum, I tried the usual steps to get it out, but to no avail. Unfortunately, in the process of drilling it out, I noticed all too late that I had drilled into the knuckle. I have since decided to replace the whole knuckle and wanted to find out if there are any gotchas of which I should be aware before I begin.
Thanks in advance for any tips you have.
