One of the hardest parts of the job was getting the old ones out! The repair CD says to hold the knuckle in a vise and "drive the old joint out". It should say to beat the holy crap out of the thing! I was standing up on a step ladder and swinging a 2lb sledge hammer for about 5 minutes on each one! They don't wanna come out! (Which i guess is a good thing )
While I had the whole mess apart, I had ordered brake pads and rotors for the front from our sponsers. I should have also ordered calipers. On both of them, the outer pistons were seeping fluid. So now I have to get those and do my brakes all over again. Live and learn
