Ok this is a huge pain in the a$$. Passenger side axle came out no problem, driver sides a totally dif story. Had to heat the nut and use an impact gun we use to take lugs off my dads tractor/trailers. Then the real fun began, we beat the axle nut to pieces trying to pound the axle out of the hub with a sledge hammer, then mushroomed the axle, burned the mushroom off then put the whole knuckle, hub and axle on a press and snapped the knuckle. This was about 4 hours of heating and beating on this dam axle!
My question is should i get these part from a junkyard or mitsu, i was planning on gettin the knuckle from the junkyard and the hub assembly from mitsu.
Or would it be better to just get the hub assembly from the junkyard as well and replace the bearings myself. Im trying to save money here but if the hub assembly is'nt to much from mitsu id rather get it new.
