Takes time bud, I live on my own and own 4 vechiles etc, plus I work full time, I don’t have a whole bunch of time to work on this. This past winter I wanted to go a lot of shit but got tied up I’m other cars. I now have accumulated a extra k20 motor to build on the side, not to mention I’m learning how to do the motor myself.

You just need a pickle fork to encourage that lower control arm off the ball joint. Then that axle will play ball.

Ugh I just unbolt the 2 lower strut bolts and swing it the whole assembly down while pushing the CV shaft inwards. Much faster and less bullshit.

Calipers at the very least need a wire wheel and some BBQ black paint.

I was putting my coilovers in and we kept the axle nut in, so the spindle fell and the axle came out… Idk what you want me to say shit happens, I might have to slide the boot over and go from there idk I’ll have help. I also looked it up and the suggestions people make don’t work.

He’s taking it out so he can take the cv boot off to put the u joints back in place.
