noticed you're axle overhaul guide at ih8mud.com. It's excellent- so good I thought I'd go through my fj40's front end, as both knuckle have been weeping 90wt since I bought the truck. At any rate, I busted my hub off, and 90wt started pouring out. I forged ahead, pulled the spindle (took some taps and lots of crap brushing), and GUSH! It appears the whole thing was lubed with oil rather than grease (the conical bearings looked in excellent condition, though!).
Anyway, I digress. In the process of removing the knuckle I ran into a problem. The front two cone washers holding the steering arm will not come off. I've hammered until the studs have started to bulge at the top... brushed, soaked in pb-blaster for 2 days and they simply won't budge. As a last ditch effort before totally freaking out, I thought I'd bug you for ideas. Any ideas? I'm stuck.
thanks in advance,
