Man, and I really struggle in installing the steering knuckle to a Honda Element, most of the Japanese front -wheel drive are pretty similar in the hub install
@JDPATO You may need to apply pressure on the lower ball joint, so that it is forced to sit tight against the control arm, the easiest way to do this on these cars is to place a floor jack direcly under the lower ball joint, and jack it up slightly until the ball joint is pushed into it's receiving hole. Once that happens you should be able to tighten ball joint nut.
I had to replace the bearing on a 95 Mazda Protege before. I fiqured I was going to need a press. But then I had the idea of pulling a used spindle and bearing assembly. Cause I found it was cheaper to get the whole thing used from a self serve wrecking yard then buying a bearing + to press it.
