sasha - the 'big bolt' is part of the axle. to get it out of there, you have two choices:
1) mark your camber eccentrics w/ your current alignment settings. remove the track rod & remove the lower control arm bolt from the rear subframe. now you can pound the axle bolt out of the bearing & set it aside.
drawback: you will probably need an alignment after this.
2) remove the six bolts that hold the axle to the transmission. you can now remove the axle from the transmission. pound out the axle from the wheel bearing & remove the entire axle from the car.
drawback: the six bolts are a pain to get in & out, and a lot of people have trouble with them coming loose while driving. if you go this route, use red loctite & torque to spec.
