Ouch I was hoping that I wont have to touch the ball joints.. Last time I did that I tore the boots..

 

Ya been there done that.

Sometimes you can get lucky and put a block of wood under the rotor putting a little up pressure on the spindle and with the ball joint nut loosened take a hammer and either rap down on the lower A arm right beside the ball joint or with almost a full nut of threads covered by the nut rap down on it, sometimes it will vibrate it loose

I never tried but I don't think the hole in the spindle is large enough to slide the axle out and I really don't remember why but when I did the bearings on mine I had too pop the ball joints loose anyways

{ I hate it when I've slept since then and suffer from C,R,S, lol }

 

If you're feeling adventurous, maybe cut down some threads off the outer axle. Then with the outer tie rod removed you might not have to mess with the ball joints.

 

Actually im not worried about the removal part. Since the axle is literally in two pieces I can yank it out easily. But I think it will be necessary to remove the ball joint during the installation of the new part.

 

well if the axle has lost the CV joint to the point that's its in two pieces and you can actually slip it out rent a ball joint press from your local parts house { if they have a loner program } the ball joint press that slips around the spindle joint and presses on the center shaft of the ball joint will save the boot, with the axle removed there should be enough room

 

Well unfortunately the axle wasnt broken to two pieces like I thought.
I managed to get the tie rod off and I also loosened the lower ball joint by jacking the control arm to certain heights and using a hammer.I also got the 4 bolts of the lower ball joint but the ball joint itself is sandwiched and trapped. The CV axle is still inside. I cant seem to be able to make enough space to get the ball joint out. Any suggestions?
I dont wanna take the upper one out because its got rivvets and I have no way of taking it out.

 

Ok I'm a little lost here with the problem you are having but here goes

As you may know, top ball joint is org as its still riveted, in replacement you grind off the heads of the rivets tap out the remainder of them then the new one is bolted in place

bottom ball joint, you do not have to unbolt the four bolts for what you are doing, ball joint center shaft nut should be all you have to remove. support vehicle on a stand, place a jack under A arm with a little tension on A arm, loosen the large nut on the ball joint center shaft, usually the CV joint is in the way of removing it all the way,

If you were lucky enough to have the shaft of the ball joint too come loose from the spindle already, lower the jack some until the nut touches the A arm, at that point you should be able to remove the nut, if so lower the jack and let the A arm hang, at this point either lift the upper A arm or push down on lower A arm to get the ball joint shaft out of the spindle
