Dodge caravan can't remove axle Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Tricks of the Trade 3fingerrick New User Jun 15, 2009, 4:23 PM Post #1 of 3 (5220 views) Dodge caravan can't remove axle Sign In I am trying to remove the axle from the steering knuckle and I can't turn the knuckle far enough to remove the axle eventhough I have removed the ball joint. Do I have to pull the bottom ball joint as well and is there pressure on that joint from the front spring? Chilton's book does not tel me. I am trying to remove the engine and need to remove the axles to pull the transmission with the engine.

Yes, seperate the lower ball joint. You'll need to remove the brake caliper and support it, first. (don't let it hang by the brake hose) Loren SW Washington Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jun 17, 2009, 4:30 PM Post #3 of 3 (5202 views) Re: Dodge caravan can't remove axle Sign In Lorens right, you can lose 2 fingers doing that way.......lol There is alot of pressure require to pull the lower con arm down far enough to get the stud out of the knuckle (easy part) and then to put it back in ( hard part). . . Another way would be to remove the 2 strut bolts & let the knuckle fall forward. The con to doing that way would be you would have to get an alignment afterwards   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
