Loosen the wheel bolts
jack up at the axle , remove wheel
remove cotter pin and lock from the axle shaft
remove 1 5/16 or 36 mm nut off the axle(you may need someone on the brakes to hold it , a very good chance)
Remove pressure from brakes by squeezing the caliper(this makes removal and installation a breeze .
remove 2 bolts holding the caliper , they are 1/2"
Using tie straps , hang them so they are supported , don`t just dangle them from the lines
remove rotor
Remove cotter pin and nut from the tie rod end , using a hamme , tap the knuckle by the TRE until it drops , ususally 4-5 good taps will do . 3/4" nut on the TRE
remove the three bolts on the rear of the knuckle that hold the wheel brg 13mm 12 point socket or wrench
using a flat head screwdriver , start tapping it next to the top ear of the brg flange using the screwdriver as a wedge . Once separated slightly , repeat this at all 3 ears until you work it out . If you are replacing the brg , a BFH works great and will destroy the bearing .
pull side axle out

penetrating fluid is all you will need
