Need help for header install

Ok so I am trying to take my old LT's out because my grotyohann are rusted and wanted to get rid of the AIR system. I have pacesetters, installed the passanger side pretty easy, and cannot get the old ones out of the drivers side. What I need help with is the steering knuckle removal, I have read all over and it says wiggle it out but mine will not come out, any secrets, advice, tips?

I think I had to tap on mine with brass while wiggling it. It was stuck in place but once it broke loose it came apart pretty easy.

Did you disconnect the top and bottom?

I had to slide the bottom one out before the top one would come off.

You have to pull the shaft completely out. Remove the bolt on top and completely loosen the on on the bottom, then pull up to get it off the bottom part, then it comes straight off the top. You might also have to remove the oil filter and the diverter right above it. Only 2 bolts hold it on.
