I hope you have an impact gun AND the Star socket thats needed to renove the bolts from behind. First, take off the center cap from the wheel, put wheel back on and lower the car. Now take that big 36mm socket and loosen the big nut with the wheel on the ground and car in park. Once its at least loosened about 2 turns, jack the car back up...pull off the wheel and now back the hut off until the top of the nut is just proud of the axle tip...take a 5lb BFH and give it a good rap...mine started to move after 2 hits. Now the only way to get the axle "completely" out is to either disconnect the lower control arm OR unbolt the spindle from the strut AFTER you disconnet the sway bar link. BUT you do not need to do this in order for the axle to move....this is only to take it "completely" out. Don't be shy with the BFH! My 98 had NO type of bonding agent or sealant. On the impact gun...the ONLY way those 4 star bolts were coming out WITHOUT ROUNDING was with the impact gun....i used a 1/2 to 3/8 reducer onto my star socket. Good luck!!!! Your kit should have new star bolts and axle nuts cause you will chew them up.
