Remove nut from TRE beat the **** out the ear that the end fits in as to not damage the end and that will loosen it and just pull it out

If your trying to remove knuckle itself you have to remove the tierod theres three 12 point 13mm bolts behind the wheel hub you have to remove the caliper and rotor theres a big 36 mm bolt in the center you dont have to remove it to remove the shaft once the 13 mm bolts are removed take a hammer and you mite have to beatthe wheel hub off then theres 2 bolts inside on the ball joints take those off the. The knuckle should come off

If this is an XJ you are working on, it should just slide right out. Every time I've pulled D30 shafts they never needed any coaxing.
