While in the process of removing my front left wheel hub assembly from the car, there was quite a bit of 'aggressive coaxing' I did to try and break the wheel hub loose. I never directly hit the hub with a steel hammer, but I'd place a block against it and smash on that, or try to force it off by placing a crowbar between the hub and the knuckle for leverage and beating on the crowbar. Anyway, when I finally got the hub out, I looked at the knuckle and saw what looked like maybe small cracks? Just on the surface? Should I be worried that I damaged the steering knuckle itself or is it a lot stronger than that? Here is what I'm talking about
:
On the other side, I had purchased the slide hammer at this point, so it came right out without any of that smashing around. And I don't see any of the marks on that one...
Really hoping there isn't another part to buy...
