I went and pulled a steering knuckle today, with a good caliper. It has rim stuck on it, and i am going to try to get it cut off with a cutting torch tomorrow. I spent hours today trying to get that broken lug bolt out... finally gave up. I started pulling axles, but the yard was closing, so i had to quit until tomorrow. I found annular axles and did not realize i had to separate them at the flange to remove them. The donor car is a 1990... 126 body... don't remember the class. will these axles fit my car????

I forgot my toolbox and sunglasses at the wrecking yard... I hope they will still be there tomorrow... 160 mile round trip to yard... fun times.
