Replacing front TTB axle on pass. side
Does anybody know, in good detail, how to remove the hub and spindle from the knuckle so that I can replace the passenger side axle? I have already had the locking hubs off as well as the spring clip on the axle. I took off every bolt and spring clip I could find but couldn't get the hub/rotor assembly off of the knuckle.

If you've removed the spring clip and hub, the next step should be to remove the locknuts. These require a special socket, which you can purchase in just about any auto parts store. It is basically a cylinder with four "fingers" that engage into the first locknut; remove it by turning it counterclockwise. Next, remove the locking ring which is seated against the inner locknut (a magnet helps). Finally, use the socket again to remove the inner locknut as you did the first. The outer wheel bearing should now be removable, along with the whole hub and rotor assembly. Be careful when taking it off, as the inner bearing will be loose and will come with it. Hope this helps!
