hey guys,
was wondering if any of you knew where i can find a diagram for disassembling the front steering knuckles so i can change my front wheel bearing. i know they are pressed in, but instead of bringing it to a mechanic to do all the work, i am gonna take it all apart myself and just bring the steering knuckle in to get the old out and new one pressed back in. i know the basics of taking it all apart, but every car has something different about them and just want a reference. thanks

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the snap ring.

2. Attach the special tools to the knuckle and hub.

3. Secure the knuckle in a vise.
4. Tighten the nut of the special tool and remove the hub from the knuckle.
When removing wheel hub or wheel bearing from knuckle, replace wheel bearing assembly (outer race, inner races and grease seals) with a new one.
5. Using the special tool, remove the wheel bearing inner race (outside) from the front hub.

6. Install the inner race (outside) that was removed from the hub to the wheel bearing, and then use the special tool to remove the wheel bearing.

REASSEMBLY
1. Fill the wheel bearing with multipurpose grease.
2. Apply a thin coating of multipurpose grease to the knuckle and bearing contact surfaces.
3. Press-in the bearing by using the special tool.

Do not press inner race of wheel bearing assembly.
4. Install snap ring into groove of knuckle.

5. Measure the hub bearing starting torque.

6. If the starting torque is 0 Nm (0 lb.in), measure the hub bearing axial play.
7. If the hub axial play exceeds the limit while the nut is tightened to 200-260 Nm (2,000-2,600 kg.cm, 148-192 lb.ft), the bearing, hub and knuckle have not been installed correctly. Repeat the disassembly and assembly procedure.

8. Remove the special tool
