Idk if anyone on here has asked before (I can't find anything on it) but does anyone happen to have a write up on how to do the cowl intake mod that alot of people have done. In pretty sure I know how to go about doing it, but I don't want to jack anything up extremely bad.

Thanks all

Default steering knuckle removal
I am removing the steering knuckle on the passenger side because the caliper bolt holes are stripped. I have everything disconnected except the ball joints. I cannot get the knuckle off of the ball joints. Should I continue to beat hell out of the knuckle or do I need a special tool?

Yeah, I am picking one up at lunch today. Can I reuse the ball joint in the new knuckle? They are practically brand new.

Since driver's side works for all, seems logical it is passenger's switch, but my mechanic seems stumped.
When this was happening to my 1995 Grand Cherokee it was the master switch in the driver side door. All the connections got corroded. I used this video and haven't had any problems since. Good Luck!
