Sorry, didn't see the question. Yes, the howl was the rear wheel bearing. Since I was also doing the leaky rear diff seals, I had to cut both knuckles out of the car. I did the bearings on both sides.. figured this way I might not have to go back into these assemblies before I'm done with the car. T...

aha.. I'm NOT the first..

I was afraid that cutting and then driving out the remains of the bolts was the best strategy... thanks all for advice.

yes, I can turn it about 1/4 turn either way, then it locks up. I tried driving it out by putting the nut on backwards and beating on it. That just bends the mounting tabs on the support. tried pblaster. I think the bolt has become one with the metal sleeve inside the bushing. Here are some more pic...

That's VERY helpful. Its step 12. b. that I'm stuck on. Cannot get the camber adjustment bolt out after removing the nut and adjuster. Seems frozen inside the bushing that's inside the knuckle assembly itself. If I destroy the bushing, looks like I will need a whole new knuckle at $145. Any ideas fo...

Don't I have to remove the knuckle mounting bolts to get the room to extract the axle from the hub.. even if I remove the 4 hub bolts first? My problem is how to get the darn lower camber bolt out (part of the knuckle support) without destroying the knuckle bushing. You don't need to remove the whol...

I changed it about a year ago.. about 15000 miles ago.. so in this case I just topped it off.

Did you top off or change the fluid?

It is difficult. I've done the front passenger side already. If you have a press you can use the outer race from the old bearing and cut a round steel disk as a push plate to go inside it, to press the new bearing in without putting any force on the inner race. So I'm pretty sure its the rear passen...

Hi folks, Need some advice diagnosing a "howl" that gets really noticeable above 40mph, Once it starts, you can hear it while slowing down till about 15mph. Coasting in neutral over 40mph and the howl doesn't change pitch or volume. Pretty sure its coming from back of car.. possibly passen...
