Subject:painlessly removing steering knuckles?
From:Dan Barrett
Date:Wed, 28 May 2014 22:55:25 -0400

Dear All:

While replacing my falling-apart-rusty disc brake dust shields, I've run
into the universe's rustiest fasteners (the machine screws holding said
dust shields on).  I'd like to get the steering knuckles off the bus and
onto a bench to work on those nasty machine screws.

The upper and lower ball joints, as well as the tie rod ends, are in
good shape, and I don't want to do anything to necessitate replacing
those.  What's the best way of removing the steering knuckles without
doing violence to anything?

Best,
d.
