help with brake swap!!
I am doing the LS1 brake swap on my 93 Z28, and am having two issues.....
the steering knuckle is not coming off the lower ball joint, and the wheel hub is not coming off the steering knuckle.
Are there any special tools or tricks?

Now loosen, not remove, the lower ball joint nut a few threads.
Then a few good, hard raps with the hammer on the side of the knuckle where the lower ball joint attaches should break the lower loose.
If not, a pickle fork. But, you will probably destroy the low ball joint boot, at the very least.

Also try using a small chisel to seperate the face of the hub and the knuckle.
Good luck!
