DIY on ball joints

I need to replace my left lower ball joint but I cant seperate my brake hub and rotor from my left driveshaft (halfshaft, transaxle...whatever). I need to remove this because I cant get my old crap ball joint out to put the new one in.....please help...

you need a big f'ing wrench. like a 32mm socket I think. Air ratchet or about a 3' breaker bar. That'll undo the axle nut, and when you replace it you MUST use a new one, be sure to swage it on after you torque it.
