oh god don't remind me, that was terrible. especially when you said "well do you want to hear the good news or bad news first?"

that is a bad thing to do you will put to much wear on the ball joint, you must pry the control arm up with a jack and take it out then, it will grab nicely.

I did an axle swap Friday night... only took about an hour start to finish. Hardest thing about it was to get the axle back into the tranny.
