Now my problem is i cant remove the lower ball joint to save my life.... when you guys says spindle do you mean the steering knuckle? Im just using a haynes manual and they dont use the word spindle in it at all.

I dont have a sledge hammer but i do have a 15lbs caprock breaker bar which should be good enough... What the hell am i doing wrong? Thanks

Yeah the haynes manual wont use the term spindle.

Your just gonna have to screw with it. I had the SAME problems. The sh1t just wouldnt come off. But on a third occassion I figured out the easiest way. Is to take both the upper control arm and lower control arm off with the "steering knuckle" or spindle still attatched, and put a piece of wood over the thread end and beat the **** out of the piece of wood till it popped off. You dont mess anything up in the process, and it literally takes like 10 min to remove both.. Make sure the spring is compressed and out before removing the control arms from the actual frame
