No need to remove the rotor or caliper bracket

You need to (in a nutshell)
-empty the fluid
-remove the wheel
-remove the nut (31mm?) from the axle
-A) undo the strut to spindle bolts
OR
b) remove the spindle from the baljoint
Personally i remove the strut to spinle bolts as its easier. Most will not do this bc it would mean you need an alignment however there is so little play in the stock strut i can align it by eye and have been fine
-Remove the caliper (attach it to the strut with zip ties)
-unattach tierod end from spindle
-undo halfshaft bracket mounted to the engine block
-use BIG hammer to push the axle thru the spindle as far as possible. Then use some brute force and a screwdriver/crow bar and free the axle from the spindle. I found it was easiest by having the spindle turned towards the left.
-use a prybar/screw driver to pull shaft from differential being CAREFUL not to mess up the axle seals.
