Support the Control Arm, detach the steering knuckle from both balljoints, and use a puller to separate the driveaxle from the hub. If necessary, remove hub bolts and separate it from the knuckle. If the knuckle seal is damaged, replace it using a socket for fitting.Installation: Follow the removal steps in reverse.

  Q: How to raise the front of the Chevrolet C1500 and K1500 and remove Steering Knuckle?

  A: Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Apply the parking brake. Support the lower Control Arm with a jack so the coil spring is compressed to its normal ride height. Warning: The jack must remain in this position throughout the entire procedure. Remove the wheel. Remove the brake caliper and the brake disc/hub assembly. Remove the disc splash shield, if equipped. Disconnect the tie-rod end from the knuckle. Disconnect the balljoints from the steering knuckle. Remove the steering knuckle. Installation is the reverse of removal. Adjust the front wheel bearings and have the front wheel alignment checked by a dealer service department or alignment shop.
