Urgent help!!!

You need to take the spindles, brake backing plate, and inner shafts out. Than smack the knuckle down with a BFH til it drops out of the housing. Then press them out.
 
a tip to get them out of the inner C's on the axle housing, hit around the balljoint on the inner C with a hammer to shock the balljoint to loosen it a bit and getting a pickle fork is a good idea.

O yeah i left out the pickle fork to get them started... Dont wannt forget that.
 
If I take off the brake backing plate - it have 6 bolts, in circle - the drive shaft will be go out from that place?!
If I can take out the drive shaft, to take off the ball-joints will be no problem!

haha, thats far away! but another tip, after you take all the nuts off to get the spindle off,and if it wont come off easy. just take a rubber hammer or just wrap the spindle in a rag or something soft and tap it back and forth and it will loosen it up.
 
:D THANK YOU GUYS!!! I was down and I take-it off! Now everything is OK! I wish to be close enough, to give you a beer - that I drink now, because I'm happy! Tomorrow I'll put all ball-joints, drag links and tie rods, new! :woot:

Thank you again for your support! :waytogo:
