I am replacing the axle on my 94 Dodge Spirit, I got everything off and
ready to take out the shaft, but when I took off the bolt and nut on the
control arm I couldnt get the spindle to come off, I've tried tie rod end
separator and I've tried a prybar. Is there a way to get it loose? And
also were is a good spot to pry from?

If you are refering to the bolt joint from the knuckle loosen all the sway
bar bolts and then pry it down. This will unload the lower control arm

yes, this is what I am talking about, I didnt know to loosen the bolts on
the sway bar, I have done this before on an 93 caravan, I just put the pry
bar in that little hole in the frame and pryed down, this time it didnt work
like that.
