Next step is to remove the axle from the wheel hub.
First you need to detach the hub from the strut, which is done by taking off the two bolts that hold it on there. these nuts and bolts are 17mm in size.
*Note: if you have ABS brakes, you will have a third bolt you need to remove from the strut, which i believe is 14mm.
from here, you can move the wheel hub foreward, pivoting it on the ball joint on the control arm, and on the tie rod end. You might also want to remove the brake line from the strut, which is held on by a little clip, which will give you a little bit more movement room. You should be able to push the end of the axle out of the wheel hub. It may take a little work, but it'll pop out.
