you don't need the shocks or the springs
to make shit super simple, all you need is the knuckle and spindle.
luckily i have leftovers from my 5 lug swap still here
4 lug pictured obviously, since the 5 lug parts are on the car
this is what you pull from the front:
front shot
rear shot
1. remove wheel
2. remove brake calipers, brake rotor, and brake caliper bracket
3. unbolt everything
4. pop out the tie rod by hitting around it with a hammer and then hitting it once with a hammer on top
5. pop out the lower ball joint with a ball joint seperator. alternatively you could unbolt from LCA too and leave the ball joint in. it's very expensive for S14s and it's nice to have a spare. in my case it wasnt available.
this is what you need from the rear:
front shot
rear shot
0. i took the RLCA because i wanted it. you could seperate it with a ball joint seperator.
1. wheel, brakes etc all off
2. unbolt everything, including the rear lower control arm. alternatively, don't unbolt the RLCA and use a ball joint seperator and seperate the rear ball joint from the spindle.
3. pop out the metal ring that clamps the inner axle to the inside of the spindle. the whole spindle will slide off the inner axle.
4. the end.
