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!

just use the ball joint press that you can rent form any auto store i used one on my balljoint swap id also recommend a second set of hands for some help, mind you we were wrestling the axle on the shop floor lol
 
:D Thanks a lot! A ball-joint press for GM?! Look where is my location! ;)

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:
