OK the bearing and axle saga continues

[jsceash]

Mark the lower control arm and toe link eccentrics, and then pop the bolts out of each one. Then swing the strut out and forward.

I see no way to get the axle out, I know the transmission side must be moved to pull the axle out...but do you move it up, down, front or back ???

As per figure 6 you have two choices... all I can tell you is that removing the rear control arm bolt from the carrier can be an absolute $%@# to do... even with a spreader! (be sure you don't damage the rubber boot on the control arm!
