- Use a punch + pb blaster to remove the axle from the hub. Don't hit too hard as you could damage your differential when the force of the blow is transferred. Lot's of small taps should do the trick.
- Disconnect the sensors from the knuckles so you don't break them
Thanks!! I’ll be “borrowing” as many as I can from Amazon. For those I can’t I will go out and buy. Is there specific ones for my car or would the “universal” ones work?
