    Ok, well - I have that all figured out. Now, I can't for the life on
    me figure out how in the hell to get the circlip removed. I have ring
    pliers, I even tried to get under it with a razor blade with no luck.
    What's the trick?

    Thanks

    Ball joint replacement and I'm almost finished! :)

    Now, I'm placing the spindle back into the knuckle and there's about a
    1/4 or perhaps less of an inch of the drive shaft assembly that has not
    fully fit into the knuckle. Is it appropriate to just take a hammer to
    the hub to try to push it together or is there a more sophisticated way
    to do it?

    Thank you,

    Cole

    just the damper fork.
    just separate the bottom joint, remove the fork and the shaft can be
    removed from the knuckle and the transmission.

    Just push the drivesaft in and put the nut on. You should be able to
    pull it into place easily turning the nut.
