Front cv removal

Changing the front P side wheel bearing on my 2g auto. Axle is loose but what other suspension, shock is off, tie rod, upper suspension bolt out but the arm won't pop off.....tired of this car.

To get the upper ball joint to seperate you need to smack the spindle with a hammer. Hit it on the outside of the area where the joint goes thru it. Make sure that you don't hit the stud with the hammer. It will pop right out. You don't have to unbolt the tie rod end. Just the lower shock mount bolt, the upper ball joint and pop the brake caliper off so that you don't stretch out the hose.
