Cant seem to get the nut off the lower a arm. Ball joint im assuming and it just spins when turning nut. Side above a arm has a rubber boot over the bolt/ball joint (not sure which if either) and i cant seem to grab it with anything to keep it from spinning. Anything helps thanks guys!
Spindle removal issues

Sit on your front bumper when you loosen it, that should be enough weight to hold it tight
Do anything you can to force the shank down into the spindle so it holds it while you spin the nut. An impact gun might help to spin the nut loose from the shank.
Use a box end wrench and put some downward force as you turn it, this should put some bind not the tapered part.
The weight of the sled should be enough to bind the tapered end into the spindle. The hard part is getting the spindle off haha. I sacrificed an old nut to strike to free the spindle.
This is usually the case 95% of the time, but once in a while you find one that gets a little loose for some reason and turns into more of a fight just to get the nut off like the situation the OP is in.
ratchet strap around the ski and top of the spindle then crank it together?
I never had an issue taking it apart, but bolting the new spindle up this did the job.
real nice thanks for the help hahaHave you tried putting a little elbow grease on it? haha
