Help Needed Seal in steering Knuckle?

[starduster]

How in the heck do you get the yoke and axle out of the steering knuckle?and is the front axle a floating axle at the ends of the axle housing?I have read all that's here in the forum but yet have not really heard how to get the seal out.any advice would be appreciated.

Now you have me chasing you. Look in the Testing Section.

you pull the bolts that hold the knuckle and there is a giant vacuum seal that you have to pound or pry out. if you damage it getting your axle out (which i did) you have to replace it which involves either a shop pressing it off and on or you doing it with some home made items. If you reinstall it and it does not seal you will not have auto hub engage. I recently had mine a part for installation of a new needle bearing which goes bad and start making some very bad grinding noise.
