A shop press is useful. And a nice impact gun to take off the drive shaft/spindle nut.

Just noticed you are in OH. Where abouts?

Have you bought the bearings yets? What year and model?

I have a set of rear knuckles with newer bearings and hub pressed in. I think the knuckels would need some DTSS removers, as the stock bushing is bad. I also think the brake dust shield is falling apart.

I had gone thought this a year or two ago. I swapped the knuckles off a parts car with new bearings and they screwed up my alinement. So I got a 2nd set of bearings and used my original knuckles.

If you can get your knuckles off, I would say I'll trade you your knuckles w/ bad bearings and $50 for my knuckles with good bearings. I could swing by sometime after work or something. Drive right by 117th on 480 everyday.
