In order to service and repair the Steering Knuckle, use the j 35917 Tie Rod puller/ball joint remover to remove the outer tie rods from the steering knuckles after scribing the strut mount cover for installation purposes and removing the three strut mount cover nuts. Lift and adequately raise the vehicle and after that, remove the tire and wheel and then followed by the brake caliper and mounting bracket and brake rotor. Unplug the abs wheel speeds sensor, and force the drive axle through the Wheel Hub/bearing splines. Unbolt the two Wheel Hub and bearing to knuckle attaching bolts and remove the Ball Joint heat shield by unbolt its retaining bolts. Using a wrong tool to separate the Ball Joint from the knuckle can cause a lot of damage. Thus, using the wrong tool is of the utmost importance. Next, the lower Ball Joint to knuckle attaching nut to be taken off and the j 35917 to be used to decompose the ball to the lower Control Arm. Remove the knuckle/strut from the vehicle when taking out the three strut mount cover nuts. For start of installation, install the strut mount cover and upper strut mount to body attaching nuts while not tightening them until the vehicle is lowered to the floor. Mount the Ball Joint heat shield with its attaching bolts and tighten them to 7 nm (62 inch lbs.). Move on to install the lower Ball Joint to the Control Arm, and then Tie Rod to knuckle attaching nut. Gently guide the drive axle into the knuckle hole and install the two hub and bearing-to-knuckle attachment bolts. Retie the abs wheel speed sensor and install the brake rotor, brake caliper, and mounting bracket. Lastly, put in the tire and wheel, lower the vehicle and align the scribe marks followed, and tighten the nuts of the strut mount cover to 33 nm (24 ft. Lbs.).
