When I posted that it was the spindle, but tonight it will be from the control arm. I've lubed everything up with PB, so here's hoping it'll break free pretty easy. Both of my control arms had severly cracked boots...

So apart from that lower ball joint, tonight will the the "re-assemble" night. The new CV is in and looks awesome, and is the right fit! Was so relieved to open the box and see a twin (albeit shiny) to the old one.
