How to remove and install a steering knuckle on Nissan Xterra?

Before you take off the wheel, loosen the lug nuts, lift up the vehicle, and make sure it's held firmly in place by jackstands put right under the frame or subframe rails. For 4WD models, remove the driveaxle. To keep the lower control arm stable, lift your vehicle with a floor jack and raise the jack just a little. Hang the brake caliper out of the way without disconnecting the brake hose using wire, and take off both the brake caliper and brake disc. Carefully take off the splash shield that covers the disc from the steering knuckle and disconnect the steering knuckle from the tie-rod end. First, disconnect the balljoints from the steering knuckle for Frontier and Xterra models, then take off the steering knuckle. To put everything back together, you must first tighten each balljoint, strut, and tie-rod end to its right torque number. To match the ballstud slots with the nut hole, you can turn the nut slightly tighter - just enough for the cotter pin to go in. Then insert a fresh cotter pin. Last, hand-tighten these four essential bolts: caliper mounting and hub locking bolts, as well as wheel mounting nuts. Install them to the numbers shown on the maintenance instructions.
