msmithmmx Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Some lighthearted fun. Some simple maintenance has turned into a pita. What is this and what is the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 That's a trip to the junkyard caused by too big a hammer on the screwdriver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmithmmx Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Used a chisel to separate a little to release the ball joint and I think I cracked it. One thing to note. Before I removed the knuckle the wheel had no play so I thought the wheel bearing was fine. On the bench the hub was loose. I am guessing the axle held it tight not giving up the secret of a failed wheel bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana tom Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Off to the wrecking yard for you... or maybe a cheap blown motor car off craigs list as a parts donor car .By the way... expect the other side wheel bearing to be in similar shape.
