Alright, I decided to replace both the wheel bearings and the ball
joint.  I removed the knuckle but I don't know how to extract the hub
from the knuckle.  The book says to use a press, but unfortunately I
don't have one.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Hope you all had a wonderful New Year!  Here's the situation.  My car
when you brake pulls hard to the left, while the steering wheel turns to
the right.  I inspected the brakes and they do not appear to be
sticking.  I think I narrowed the problem down to the right front tire.
When the tires are up in the air I rocked the tire from side to side.
There is play in there that shouldn't be.  According to the book, this
could be caused by the inner, or outer tie rods, or the wheel bearings.
Here's my question.  I noticed play from side to side in the lower
control arm balljoint.  The book says to rock up and down to test that
so I'm not sure if that play is normal.  Second, I replaced the outer
tie rod end so that isn't the problem.  Now I'm left with the wheel
bearings and the inner tie rod.  How do I tell which one it is?

Thanks a lot!
Shaun
