Tips...don't mess anything up.
It's pretty easy, here in Ohio you never know when something is gonna be nice and rusted up, but once you get everything off, it's not bad.
A big breaker bar and some taps with a mini sledge are best for the large axle nut (36mm on my 99, same for my buddy's '94), and it's easiest if the car is on the ground, so do this before jacking up the car, or have someone hold the brakes with power, that'll usually hold enough for you to loosen that nut.
From there...okay, there's gotta be a DIY out there...I don't feel like typing everything out. If you have specific questions, post again here.
Good luck.
do you hit the axle nut like directly on or tap around it?
im int eh process of getting mine off but i already broke a breaker bar, gonna use an impact wrnch to try.
Oh, and of you ever get into this position, use a big ass prybar and use leverage to line the bolts back up (this is after when you put the lower ball joint back in)
