so yea... yesterday.. i've tried to attempt to swap out my rotors... and needless to say i've only gotten as far as trying to use a ball joint puller on my lower control arm and no good... can anyone give me an insight bout how im supposed to seperate the lower control arm from the knuckle? thankz

use of a pickle fork and a big hammer and careful placement of said fork

I'd never use a pickle fork unless you plan on replacing your balljoints. A BIG hammer should do enough damage. Just hammer the fuck out of the metal around the ball joint.

So my driver side wheel bearing is def going out. i can hear it rubbing as im driving and doesnt sound good or feel good. Do i absolutely have to take it to a shop to get the bearing pressed out and the new one pressed in? or is there a way to do it at home? les shawb wants like 260 for new bearing, labor and allignment. Too much money that i dont have. But i also need to replace the wheel bearing.

[d112crzy]

No, you don't need to take it to a shop to have it pressed in.

Simply remove take the old stuff apart, grease up the inner bore of the hub and the with a big socket(axle nut socket) you can hammer it back in.

Are the drum bearing the same as the disc bearing???

[Haccord21]

Cool thanks for that info. As soon as i get money i can finally replace my wheel bearing.
