Question

Accepted Answer

The first step to remove the LH steering knuckle includes disconnecting the negative cable from the battery until you wait at least 90 seconds to prevent Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation; some systems need initialization after reconnection. Begin by removing the front axle hub sub-assembly LH into position then separate the front speed sensor LH after bolt and clip removal before removing its connection from the steering knuckle. Separate the tie rod end sub-assembly LH by removing the cotter pin and nut while using Special Service Tool: 09610-20012 to detach the tie rod end from the steering knuckle with precaution against breaking either the front disc brake dust cover or ball joint dust cover or the steering knuckle. Use a jack to securely support the front suspension lower arm LH while you disconnect the front lower ball joint attachment through removing the clip and nut just before using Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to separate the upper ball joint from the steering knuckle. To expose the knuckle grease retainer cap LH users should tap it out using a screwdriver together with a hammer for 2WD vehicles while 4WD models require a screwdriver and hammer combination for steering knuckle oil seal LH removal.
