These tools are designed to remove and install front wheel drive front wheel bearings. It is not necessary to remove the knuckle assembly from the vehicle, and, as a result, front wheel alignment is not altered.
Vehicle Setup
1. Raise the vehicle until all weight is off the front wheels, and they hang freely.
2. Remove the following components: • front tires • axle nut • outer tie rod nut and tie rod • disc brake caliper – use a wire (or OTC No. 7661 caliper hanger set) to hold caliper out of the way and prevent damage to brake hose • brake rotor • loosen the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle assembly
3. Lubricate the forcing screw in the tool set.
