The part about knocking out a couple of the studs was to clear the diff side with removal. I didn't, but it woulda been better, I used a pickle fork to separate the lower ball joint, then unbolted the upper ball joint from the control arm. It made it, but I think it'd have been easier to knock a couple studs out an replace 'em with bolts. I'm wishing I had because I didn't grease those bushings an now my driver's side axle's makin noise. Oops. It's all possible, just keep at it.

HAHA I win!!! (notice, no CV axle)
since everyone loves pictures here is a few...
While the old one was off I noticed some wear spots on the back of the spindle. Sine I drive it every day I had to put the new shaft in there. Will this be a problem? I also put some grease on there, hoping it wont get worse.
Here is a picture looking out with the halfshaft removed. (Camera phone=crappy pictures)
BTW, Putting the new ones in is alot easer than taking the old ones out
While I was down there I also replaced the sway bar bushings with energy suspension ones.
