mine is 32mm... you'll need an impact for sure. I got the nut off, now I can't get the god damn axle to come out of the splines. I tried hammering gently with a wooden block - no go. Now I gotta make me a puller for the beeyatch.

The damn thing started turning with the nut... I got the cotter pin out, and I put the wrench to it... the whole thing spins 
BUT!!! I have everything else dropped... I mean complete front susp; lower A-arms, tie rod, upper a-arm... etc. I'm switching to bigger and better 
so it's just being held back by the splines 
That's the only thing still attached.

No, nothing else is attached...I can take the steering knuckle and toss it around 
but I'm afraid of popping the clip inside the axle 
so it's all supported on a jack right now till I can pull it off. The car isn't even old, it's a 98 with 100K kms on it. I don't know how it's so jammed.
