cheers, got nut off now, don't know how to get the rest of it off. 97 rs2000 front drivers side

 

If u want to take the whole hub off u need to disconnect bottom wishbone ball joint, track rod end & bottom strut bolt as well as removing the caliper. If u just want to remove the driveshaft, bottom wishbone ball joint & trackrod ent , tap the shaft end out with a rubber or copper mallet & lift the hub assembly out of the way. Hope that is what u need.
