what are you trying to do remove both? you then take the large nut loose the large nut off prior to jacking car up. then take off tire, brake stuff and remove wheel bearing. if removing axle sometimes you need to remove the lower ball joint from strut so there is enough room to pull axle out then get a large screwdriver /bar and pry out axle from transmission.
