If you don't have a cover over your axle nut, undo the axle nut before you jack up the car, that way no one has to sit on the brakes.

If you don't have access to an impact wrench (I did, but I used an electric one that was not strong enough!), first, spray the axle nuts with WD-40 or something similar. Then, while it is soaking in, go find a breaker bar. I used a 20" breaker bar and put a 4 foot steel pipe over it. I broke the first bar, bought another breaker bar, and it worked with that. Try not to use an old, worn breaker bar on this.

Also note: DO NOT PULL ON THE DRIVESHAFT. ALWAYS pry it as shown!
