Ken:
You're lucky; when I have tried this, the stem spins in the taper and I
can't get the nut off! Anyway, there are two tools one can use. One is the
so-called pickle fork: a tapered fork which is driven into the space
between the control arm and the upright. The other is a tool which is very
much like a wheel puller. Either of these should be available at a NAPA or
other auto parts store.
