well according to manual, everything comes apart and goes back together by just dissembling and reassembling with hand tools. It says the axle shaft retaining nut is a one time use and cannot be reused. It also says to get a new, lower arm-to-wheel knuckle bolt nut, and the upper ball joint-to-wheel knuckle nut. Then it says to reinstall in reverse order. Nothing about having the bearings pressed on.
I was asking because Rod mentioned pulling the axles and having the new bearings pressed on before reassembling the knuckle. so i guess i need to know if reassembling with hand tools is ok.
I just want to be absolutely sure of what needs to be done, special tools and or processes, etc. before i start this. I hate surprises.
Thank you for the reply.
