your probably trying to take it off at the ball joint....just use an impact if ya got one!!!! three blasts on the ingersoll will cure all!!!!! I usually take off the two bolts that hold the spindle to the strut if there are no camber adjusting bolts and it's fixed

im thinking he can take those two bolts out... and should be able to move it enough to knock the half shaft out, if not and the ball joint has to come apart... well... hit that bolt w. the impact... then the BFH comes in handy...

yeah I took off my brake disc, then the 2 bolts to the strut, then took the cotter pin and nut and bolt off the A arm, and still couldnt get the axle out, so I proceeded to take out another cotter pin and got that and the nut off, but cant get that bolt out of the A arm... if that makes sense,

I have to go to my friends houseto get a camera after I eat, so I can have pictures of what im stuck on later tonight..
