I’ve got the right front bearing carrier, swivel bearing, hub, knuckle, whatever installed, so the one I took out is available for adoption. Free to a good home.
The only problem with it is the very issue that made me throw in the towel and buy a used one: I can’t get one of the screws for the tension strut ball joint out. The screw isn’t stripped, just the stupid hex head. Normal these are torx head bolts, but somehow mine are hex.
I’ve got an eBay left side knuckle coming to so I can repeat this silly process. I will say thst I think it must be the easiest way to replace the bearings amd road hub, with it out of the car.
