You have to take the strut or the lower ball joint off
so the axle can pop out of the hub, it should slide
right out.  Ten you take your axle bolt and screw it
in till it contacts the other side of the joint, so
now it is pressing against the axle.  Make sure you
have the joint strait when doing this.  When it makes
contact, crank the bolt down, and the joint will pop
off.
