Wassup Gang, I was doing some work on my Uncles 2002 Suzuki XL-7 2.7L SUV.
Due to the Recent below freezing, and Snow we been getting here in Chicago I got into a little issue while driving. I skid in an alley and hit those electricity wood posts. I managed to get a little dent on the right fender, and I turned my wheel left while the car was sliding right. The Tire hit the post. The Right front wheel got unaligned and it was toeing out by not much. I realized I bent the Outer Tie Rod End. Where it bolts on to the wheel. I also manamged to I guess damaged the WHeel Hub/Bearing because the ABS light came on the car. I moved the wheel with the tire on while on the jack stands and the wheels does have little movement while the other is hard as a rock.
Now...... (Sorry for the long story)
The Outer Tie Rod Nut is so Stuck On there I cant seem to budge it loose. Ive Hit it with a steel hammer (Not to hard), and with a Rubber mallet (HARD Hitting). Ive used some Liquid Wrench and nothing makes it seem to get it loose.
Any Ideas?
Also while removing the Wheel Hub/Bearing assembly ive also encountered an issue.
Ive removed the Caliper, and Rotor also ive taken out the bolts to remove a cap in the center (Ull see in the photo)
Im stuck because I don't know how to remove the Wheel Hub Assembly? Theres sorta like 4 screws inside by the wheel Assembly. I manged to remove just 1 screw. I stopped after the 3rd one cause I sorta stripped one and was going to strip a third but then I stopped.
Has anyone ever worked on this sorta vehicles ima post some pictures so you guys can get an idea on what im talking about.
I got the tie rod and new WHeel Hub/bearing aassembly from Rock Auto.
