How to remove spindles

You need to take the shock and spring out to release the upper control arm. I used the BFH method of taking the spindle off. Just hit the spindle really hard with a hammer till it comes loose. Worked really easy and well for me.

You do not have to take out the springs and shocks to swap spindles. you can place a block of wood between the bottom of upper control arm and the frame and it will keep the upper control arm from dropping all the way down allowing the spindle to drop out once released from ball joints.

To release you either need to hit the spindle really hard with a hammer were it connects with the ball joint like Golf said or get a fork and pound it in there. The problem with using the fork is you will more then likely ruin the rubber boot, but sometimes the hammer trick just doesn't work.
