So, new knuckles and bearings it is. Took the knuckle completely off, soaked it with PB Blaster, and took a 2 1/2 lb hand sledge to it from the back side. No movement.

The next question is, is it possible to disconnect the ebrake cable from the knuckle / bearing assembly? I don’t mind buying a new assembly but the ones I see on eBay have the ebrake cable with them which doesn’t bode well. Am I going to end up having to remove and replace the ebrake cable too?

Thanks!
