ahh im just doing it in my drive way and i dont have another car so i cant go out =[ any suggestions. umm i need them to do the front how the steering rack/arm thingys connect to the coilover arm.
That's the outer tierod you're trying to undo. Loosen the nut most of the way out. Don't take it off all the way in case you miss and fuck up the threads. Take a hammer and give the arm on the strut side a few wacks with a hammer. It'll jar the taper loose.
As for the Lower control arm to knuckle ball joint, dont bother taking it apart, just take the lower control arms off the subframe, hell of alot easier.
