1. Remove the wheel
2. Remove the big ass nut on the axle
3. Remove the ball joint nut and bolt
4. Remove the link rod where it attaches to the strut assy.
5. Pull the ball joint down out of the steering knuckle, you will never pry this joint down and out. Put a shot of lube into it and then with a firm, straight downward pull, yank that bitch out of there. It may take a couple of goes but more often then not it will yank straight out. If not then tap it back up with a hammer, a little more lube, and give it another mighty pull, repeat until it is free.
6. Remove the outer tie rod from the knuckle.
7. Hit the end of the axle with a dead blow and see if it budges, if not then I recommend the correct tool for this. The correct tool is made by OTC, among others, and it bolts to the rotor in three places like the wheel does and it positions a threaded shaft right over the end of the axle. Screw this bugger in until it pushes the axle through the hub.
8. The axle is now free, push the hub/strut assembly off to one side and pull the axle out of the backside.
9. Right side axle, just remove the retainer for the support bearing at the back of the block and pull it free from the trans. Left side, get a big ass screwdriver or, better yet, the correct factory tool and pop it loose from the side of the trans. If using a big screwdriver be careful not to crack the case.
