modifying the steering knuckle

[87-325ic]

Well, the knuckle is out and the rivets are mostly ground through..

And now im trying to seperate it.. ill grind away at the rivets some more before i ask how much those need..

but since the pics are down for the e36 rack swap thread, i need someone to show or explain to me where i need to grind at the u-joint to make more turning clearance, is it both ujoints? or just one?

any help would be appreciated..

once you grind down the rivets enough, the knuckle should separate with a little effort.

I waited until I got the steering rack and knuckle back in the car and everything hooked up, then I spun the steering wheel back and forth and found where I had clearance problems and ground down just enough to clear.
