Well, cut the clamp off the big end and pushed the boot back. When I did that, 2 ball bearings fell out. These surround the female opening where the shaft sticks into the knuckle. I spent a good hour spining the ring to try and put them back but no luck. I did get the spindle back in and car works enough to get to mechanic to replace the axle piece and the other side control arm. oh well, at least I know what's nder the boot now. Thanks for the tips
