I built my own axle press from an old front rotor and a 1" grade eight bolt.

I shattered the first one at about 25,000# force. I rebuilt it stronger and only applied about 25,000# then 5# hammer to add about 10-15,000 more.

I built a special tool from an old axle that I can clean the hub better than new. Once that poked through with thumb only I put the axle back through.


Tis I didn't see disconnect tie rod. They do mention turning wheel left and right. Helpful to see somebody else do this before me.
