Hey guys,

I have the old bearing off, but now that I'm trying to fasten the new bearing onto the knuckle, the CV boot is causing a clearance issue and I can't get my tool in there to tighten the bolts. I'm thinking about removing the bolt that connects the knuckle to the strut so I can drop the entire knuckle down and away from the CV axle. Has anyone done this? Any tips would be appreciated, it ended up getting dark and I called it a night, so the car has been up on jack stands all night.

Thanks!
