Ok I would be interested in the knuckles if anything

calvynandhobbs:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but those 3 bolt that you are talking about pass through the knuckle and only thread into the wheel bearing units. That is why rock mentioned grinding the heads of the bolts off. Once you did that you would be able to pull the entire hub assembly out. I think you need a new wheel bearing more than you're going to need a knuckle.

That's correct. when you grind the heads off and remove the bearing assy, the bolt will still be long enough to get a pipe wrench on it to get them out.

The only hard part will be to drill out the broken caliper bolt, it will be a pita but it can be done!
