I just talked to my mechanic and he cannot get the hubs off the truck. he just told me that he has even used a 15lb slide hammer and cant get it to budge... any suggestions?

 

ive always did the socket against the frame using the power steering but it sounds like you already tried that....im sorry wish i could help

 

I've replaced the bearing hubs 3 times on each sides of the truck and I just finished replacing all of the ball joints, tie rod ends and bushings. If you're gonna do any of this stuff, buy the right tools! The OTC hub puller is 70-100 bucks and will pull the hubs in about 30 seconds, no sweat. If you're going to do ball joints, get the big clamp press and the right adapters for your truck. If you have those tools, you can swap the ball joints out in 3-4 hours. When you do replace things, do yourself a favor and use Moog and Timken for the bearings if you need them.

 

I used a puller for the hub and it pulled the hub apart. once I didnt that i brought it to someone cause I was tired of dealing with it...

anyone know where i can get steering knuckles for a d60 rather cheap?

 

What a mess man. I'm sorry it's been so awful.

Look on craigslist for a complete axle maybe? How did you eff up the knuckles? Or are you just going to rebuild from scratch maybe?

I use craigslook.com for searching multiple craigslist sites. Have had good luck.
