thanks
If its the spindle nut that’s causing a prob, I used a C clamp and shoved it out that way. There’s some offset to the clamping thats needed, but as long as you get enough force it should budge. Once its loosened you should be able to lift it out.
I’ve removed both full axles/shafts twice and this is what I had to do each time.

If you don’t want to get a ball-joint puller like InstantRamen suggested, just beat the hell out of the control arm with a hammer and the joint will seperate eventually. But just save yourself some trouble and get to an AutoZone, since it’s free.
