Basically I'm down to the lwr ball joint to knuckle connection and I simply can't get the BJ loose to allow me to get the hub off the axle.
In the 6th step of 10 my Haynes manual says "Retain the suspension strut piston with an Allen key".
For the life of me I can't figure out what that's trying to tell me. I went to the suspension section on removing the strut and found "Working inside the engine compartment, removethe strut cap (if equipped). Unscrew and remove he strut upper mouting nut, holding the piston rod stationary with an 8mm Allen key".
I still don't get it...
This is the 2nd cv boot replacement I've done - I had the same problem on the first - on that one I had to unbolt the lower bj from the lower A-arm. On the contour that's not an option since the bj is riveted to the A-arm.
Hopefully someone has some advice.
