    Any tips of the trade to get the spindle off the lower ball joint on my 07 Tacoma? Have it all apart and spindle is just hanging and not able to separate it from Lower control arm. Do i have to press the joint out with the spindle attached and repress new one with spindle on? Thanks abunch been searching all day.

    There are 2 19MM bolts on either side of the ball joint castle nut. Take those 2 out and the spindle should separate without issues.
