They are both regular threaded. You just need to put a good amount of torque on them to get them loose. Righty tighty...lefty loosey.;) Good luck man:)

Get a breaker bar and put a pipe over it and have some hold down the brakes and jump on the pipe, but first take a screw driver and put out the outer flare of the nut that dented down onto the axel. If that dosen't work get a troch and heat the nut up and try it.

or you can just get a tie rod seperator and hammer it in between the spindle and the lower control arm(after you have taken the nut off of course). the best thing for the nuts is an impac wrench

dont you have to take off the struts too ? dont forget to put like liguid wrench or wd40 on it so it helps take it off. try not to jerk it because jerking off, lol , leads to your nuts breaking, lol

I think you have to take off the fork that connects the strut to the LCA, but thats very easy.

yeah...you dont have to remove the whole strut assembly if you dont want to..but you definitely have to remove the fork.
like someone previously said, make sure you pry out the punched portion....make sure you get it all the way out...its amazing how a teeny tiny little piece will keep it from spinning :(

A easier way to prevent the wheel from spinning, is stick a screwdriver in between the rotor, so it turns against the caliper, thus, preventing it from moving. :D
