Trying to remove the axle? Simple solution, don't disconnect the Ball joint at the LCA, treat the Knuckle and the LCA as one piece and disconnect all the components attached to the LCA.

You don't need to take the ball joints out I never go. I remove the upper control arm chassis mounts, and drop the whole arm. I hate braking the balljoints loose. It usually tears the boot.

how do you deal with the shock/spring getting in the way of removing the upper arm?
still seems like youre better off just learning how to remove the balljoint properly.
