Imndeep is on a distinguished road
As White 46 noted my simple DIY turned into a PITA. I never did remove the 10mm Torx 10.9 bolts. I said to hell with it and drilled them out and up to 7/16" installed Grade 8 bolts because finding Metric 10.9 bolts were I live is close to impossible. Ok, Driver side done, Cool. Next passneger side, gonna be easy right? Oh yeah! NO! My outer spline to the half shaft would not budge. I wound up removing the Knuckle with the half shaft, putting the combo in my 20 ton Vice and pressing the damn thing out, and it took every bit of that press to do it! When she let loose it sounded like gunfire, scared the hell outta me. So now, I drilled out the other knuckle, grade 8 installed, and now rebuilding my Half shaft. Wow, what a journey so far.
