do a pic of that thing ( the bore too) and was it rust or something else?
I’ll be dropping by tomorrow morning to drop things off. If I have time and it’s still open I’ll get a pic for sure!

They still need to test drive the vehicle when they have time this afternoon, so I’m not out of the woods just yet! Fingers and toes crossed, knocking on wood over here!
I stopped by and shot the chit with the my mechanics for a bit this morning. They had trouble with the CV shaft but said they got it after a while, using the old clip - I saw it and the clip looked perfect, for whatever that’s worth. I called multiple parts departments and none of them carry the circlip! They each told me that I had to buy a new CV shaft!!!
The clip I drove down to get last night was the wrong one. She checked again today and confirmed that there isn’t a separate part for the clip.
Anyway, I want to thank all of you for your help and votes of confidence! Gotta love this forum!
Here‘s a pic of the knuckle hole after they cleaned it up nicely. I feel shame when I say that it doesn’t look as bad as Spasm3’s but still bested me! All well, it was honestly fun trying.
Now I wait for the bill...
I’m aware of that I read the thread. As soon as it wouldn’t move after that first bout of “hammering” it would have gone right in the press and saved a lot of that hassle
Do it yourself, looks really easy.
Very true, but we don’t have rust to deal with in Arizona. When my Jeep was 20 years old I did the front wheel bearings (similar setup to this) and they just fell off after unbolting.LOL, your very first reply (thanks Nick 1994!) kind of put the jinx on the project right away. 8 pages later.......... How many times have we DIYer's started a project and ended up on a late Saturday night wondering what to do until the parts places, help, etc., open up on Monday morning?
Run your hands around the tires especially the edges. See if you feel them cupped. If a tire is cupped to the point it’s noisy you can typically feel it.
