Knuckle and Ball Joint Removal / How to remove Knuckle

Now that the knuckle is off it should look something like this. Just the axle tube. As a habit I always shove a rag in the axle tube housing to keep dust and debris out while im working on it. Also be careful when beating out the upper ball joint, because if you get reckless like I did the ball joint bolt mushroom tops and wont fit the seat hole and then your gonna have to hit it with the grinder to push it threw. (I learned the hard way)
