Removing rear suspention help

[1993MTXSHO]

ok as many of you probably already know I crashed my SHO last week and im trying to fix it. Anyway i was trying to take my dust shield and studs off of that other suspention piece (not sure what its called) but i cant get to the bolts. The part that spins says do not remove permintly lubericated or soemthing to that effect. How can i get the lugs and that heat shield off of the other ceramic sort of part that everythign bolts to. If you guys dont have anyidea what im talkign about I can take some pictures and show you but its dark now and ill do it tomorrow. Any help will be appriciated thanks guys.

You'd better take photos, your description is not enough for me, at least, to have any idea what you're describing.

it sounds like your trying to get the wheel studs off the knuckle off......... I call it a knuckle I don't know what the proper term for the rear is........

beat them out with a big f'n hammer, careful not to gouge the threads so the lugnuts don't have problems starting on the threads... use a block of wood against the wheel studs then start whacking the block.... it took me like 4 or 5 whacks to get my last ones out if you have a smaller hammer.....

knuckle sounds about right ill try that. if that doesnt work ill post some pictures. Thanks guys.

picture!!! ok heres the two bolts im trying to get out but cant get to them unless I take the thing that hold the studs on off. Im trying to take it off the broken "knuckle?" to swap it over the the parts i got from the junkyard as mine are in much better shape. Also another question is that ayway to get the abs sensors out without breaking them. I took the bolt out but its press fit in so hard im goign to break it. Iv broken one before and dont feel like doing it again.

Just remove the Hub. Take the big nut off and slide the hub off.

so just remove that black cap that says dont remove this? haha

 

[Ishodu]

Under that black cap will be a nut, 35mm IIRC. When you go to install it back on it will require 180-200lbs of TQ but I am not 100% sure on them numbers.

 

[1993MTXSHO]

so i take that cap off and im assuming regrease everythign in there? Im used to old cars and rwd for that matter. Im not used to takign off caps that say dont remove haha.

 

[Ishodu]

Under that dust cap there should be no grease, the bearings in there are sealed.

oooooooooo ok that makes more sense, ill trying pulling it when i get a second, iv been really busy latly. thanks guys

The easiest way to remove the ABS sensors WITHOUT damaging them is this:
Take a cut off wheel and cut a V shaped slot into the knuckle right at the ABS sensor. This will relieve the tension/rusty fit of the sensor in the knuckle. You can then remove the ABS sensor retaining bolt, and remove the sensor itself. I hope I explained it well enough for you to understand.

ok that sorta makes sense but are there anyplaces that sell the sesors maybe ill just put a new one in. 2 of mine ar bad anyway and of course this is the side with the good sensors haha.
