hey guys! i have a 07 tl type s and i had a small accident by the front driver side! so i replaced the lower arm control and stud...but the front wheel is like tilted/ shifted about an inch to the back towards the fender/ door...so the mechanic told me that i need to replace the knuckle...so i ordered a new knuckle from acura but my question is how hard is it remove the hub and all the nuts and bolts from the old knuckle to the new?

excuse my ignorance

Not an overly difficult job, but first check the upper ball joint as that can cause the problem as well as the upper arm and if the impact was hard enough, subframe damage can be possible.
The knuckle does not come with the hub assembly and bearing so that is also a problem as a machine shop is normally needed, but to remove the knuckle you'll need to remove the caliper, bracket, rotor, axle nut, upper and lower ball joint, tie rod end, ABS sensor.

Thanks for the reply! The subframe isn't hit thankfully! The mechanic did his inspections and his conclusion was that knuckle needs to be replaced... I guess what I wanna know is that is it possible to remove the caliper, bracket, rotor, axle nut, upper and lower ball joint, tie rod end, ABS sensor from the old knuckle and do the new one? Cause my mechanic cant do it cause he said it needs to pressed out?!? And he doesn't have the right tools for it...so I am gona find a shop that does but also don't want to get ripped off. I really appreciate your help

I think he must mean the LBJ, there shouldnt be any problems transferring the rotor, caliper, etc those are all just bolt ons.

I just had my LBJ replaced from a botched axle DIY and they had to remove the whole knuckle out to press it out/in.
