Looking forward to reading about your experience.

It is the left front axle. I got a Cardone A1 half axle from Rockauto.com
As of today I was able to remove the axle nut by spraying PB blaster, wait 4 hours then use a 8" extension lying on a jack stand and a breaker bar.
Rotor and caliper removed.
Control arm (tie rod) from the subframe side removed.
I am attempting to push the axle without removing the strut on the hub side. I have been trying to hammer it in with a brass rod (soft metal) it has only moved 2 mm (5/64") . I'll spray more PB blaster tonight and if it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll go to Autozone and borrow their hub removal tool.
To be contd'..
