I need some advice on what all i need to do. My haynes manual doesn't describe it well enough. First off.. i have to replace my halfshafts with the turbo ones i got on the way to my house, the hub nut is notched into the center shaft, its been such a bitch to work to get out, what have u guys done to get that bitch out! And secondly, i got the 2 differenital mounts off and took off the 2 (the ones on the rubber things) bolts off the subframe, why didn't it come loose? btw i do have a jack on it. And i have the halfshafts off the differential, and the driveshaft down, the wheels off, jacked up and exhaust down. I know i need to get the subframe down to get the 2 differential bolts off to drop it, i just need to know how to get it down.

That nut can be a pain in the ass, my solution was to take a flat head screw driver, and knock out the notch, then stand on a breaker bar with an extension to get the nut broken, after that, jack the car up and take the wheel and hub off.
