Replacing Rear Bearings Question
I have my car all tore appart working on the following;
1) Replacing brakes -all four pads & rotors, just stock. Fronts are complete, including flushing the fluid. Rears have to wait until bearings are done.
2) Replacing PS rack. All set to remove except the line -I picked up metric crows foot flare nut set, which looks like the best way to get it out. I am marking the tie rod ends and counting the turns to thread them off -so will it need to be aligned...it is perfect now.
3) Replacing rear bearings. I PB blasted them, but the bolts still seemed too hard to get out, so I PB blasted them again and will try tonight.
Can I get to them with my air gun -or just have to "man up" and pull harder?

I wasted a lot of time trying to get those three bolts out.
I pulled the knuckles and put them in a vise even so I used a cheater bar to break them loose.
My hat is off to all who can do this with the knuckle on the car.
It took less time to do the other three (2 c4's) than I wasted on the first one fiddling around trying it with knuckle in situ.
