Simply remove tire, R/R LCA-to-Wheel Carrier Nut/Bolt **** YOU MUST REPLACE SELF-LOCKING NUT PER WIS*** Separate the Wheel Carrier from the LCA, Press OUT the Old Joint, Pull-In the New Joint, Re-Align the components by pulling the wheel carrier back into the LCA, Nut/Bolt back in.. Torque.... DONE!! Here is what My RLSJ looked like: https://youtu.be/zX8WZzB6s_M Of course... Post-Procedure, a 4-Wheel Hunter 'Laser' Alignment is in Order!
