OK here the gig, i was sliding around in parking lot, when i curb comes out of now where, and i hit it, with my right rear wheel. It broke my rim, sliced my tire. now my wheel is bent inward, from the bottom. I have removed the wheel and tire. I have the brake rotor and caliper off. I have all the nuts that need to take off. I have the axel out of the boot with the grease coming out. I just cant get the brake assembly off of the lower control arm. Im taking pictures tommorow. i have all the parts i need. someone help, its my only car

Pics will help indeed but what part of the brake assembly are you talking about that you can't get off?

I have everything off, ya know where the axel and boot is connected?. that huge *** nut that holds the bearing and **** in. i cant get that off. but it looks like there is a pressed in bolt or something that is holding the main wheel hub to the lower control arm.

When I did the brake conversion I used a ball joint tool to knock that loose. S13 300ZX Rear Brake Install zerothread?id=277821

I got a ball joint tool from Autozones loan a tool program.Popped it right off.I also could have just hit the ball joint with my hammer if I was completely replacing them like you are.
