[Supras] Drivers side front knuckle

[Fred]

Bob
I would change the bearing also. I have changed both front wheel bearings 
myself. If the knuckle is properly supported in the press, all the pressure 
would be on the bearing and the press frame. Most damage is caused by 
improper use of press adapters, an inexperienced tech or both. Sometimes the 
bearings will come apart and leave the inner and or outer races frozen to 
the knuckle or the hub, since the race is hardened steel you can usually 
crack it by cutting a groove in it with cut off wheel inserting a chisel 
into the groove, sharp blows with a bf hammer or use an air hammer chisel to 
crack it,  relieve pressure and remove the race. As mentioned, heat works 
well here also.
Good Luck
Fred
