  Q: How to replace the steering knuckle in a rear wheel steering system on GMC Sierra 3500?

  A: A rear wheel steering system requires you to remove the upper Ball Joint before moving on to the lower Ball Joint and finally the Wheel Hub and bearing. Using the universal steering linkage puller (J 24319-B) disconnect the outer tie rod from the Steering Knuckle after removing the outer tie rod retaining nut. Begin installation by first removing the forked retaining bolt that retains the park brake cable on the knuckle then extract the knuckle from the vehicle. First position the Steering Knuckle onto the vehicle before installing both upper and lower ball joints. Secure the Steering Knuckle's park brake cable retaining bolt while making sure the torque reaches 65 nm (48 ft. Lbs.). After the Wheel Hub and bearing installation you must tighten the outer tie rod retaining nut to 55 nm (40 ft. Lbs.). Install the tire on the wheel before performing final four wheel alignment.
