I wish you good luck even if you have to put a tarp over the front of your RV to stay dry.
The rain is supposed to (mostly?) stop now. Friday is supposed to be the start of a nice many days, unless the forecast changes.
The outer bearings might get trashed trying to get the stuck nut and washers loose, but they are the cheaper than the inner bearings, at least. I think the RH washer rotated on the spindle a bit which is why it's stuck without a nut. LH nut will probably have to be cold chiseled to split it. At least the spindle has the flat spot on the bottom so that's where the chisel can be used to avoid further damage to the spindle threads.
I just noticed that those steering knuckles on ebay have FREE return shipping at seller's expense within 30 days. I'm tempted to go ahead and order them just in case. If I don't need them, I can return them at no cost to me. $147.xx for both with tax and shipping. I guess I'll just hope they are still available on Friday, after the neighbor is available. The seller might not refund the $25 shipping to get them to me originally?
If I don't just go buy a small cold chisel tomorrow and try splitting the nut myself. I need to make another trip to O'Reilly to pick up the other caliper that came in today anyway.
I just emailed the seller asking what all is with the knuckle and if they have a pic. They only have a generic exterior (below) and odometer shots of the RV were on. And go figure, they are from an older year/model but same make as mine (El Dorado).
