Raise the vehicle, get it solidly supported, unscrew the nuts where the wheel mounts and remove the tire and wheel set before moving on. After that, take out the screw holding the wheel speed sensor to the knuckle and carefully remove the sensor. After removing the wheel speed sensor cable routing clip from the brake flex hose routing bracket, next remove the screw connecting the routing bracket to the knuckle. Get to the front
Brake Rotor, take it out and then undo the nut at the outer tie rod end stud. Put Special Tool 9360, also called a Puller, over the tie rod stud and turn it until it is removed from the knuckle. Turn the nut on the upper ball joint stud in the opposite direction until it is even with the end of the stud, to keep the knuckle from distorting. Place Puller, Special Tool 9360, between the boot seal and lower ball joint to divide the upper ball joint stud from the knuckle and then unscrew the nut at the top of the upper ball joint stud. Wind the thread on the nut attaching the tension strut ball joint stud to the knuckle until it lines up with the end of the stud and use Puller, Special Tool 9360, to separate the stud from the knuckle, protecting the ball joint seal boot as you do this. Take off the nut on the end of the tension strut ball joint stud and loosen the ball joint nut on the lower
Control Arm so it is even with the end of the stud. Pull up on the lower control arm's ball joint stud with a Puller, Special Tool 9360 and slide out the nut from the bottom of the stud. Take out the knuckle from underneath your vehicle. Should you need to remove the hub and bearing, take off the dust cap gently and leave the hub alone to avoid harm, then take off the hub nut and pull both parts from the knuckle spindle. Should you need to take the shield away from the knuckle, unscrew the three screws and then lift the shield. If you have to replace the lower control arm ball joint, use the proper steps to remove it from the knuckle.
