HELP! Need Advice! 86 K20 Changing Axle Shaft

Hey Guys,

I have a K20 w/ a 10 Bolt front axle. While I was plowing snow recently the driver side U-Joint gave out and the yokes of both the inner axle and outer stub shaft tore themselves to shreds. I have been trying to get the axle out, but I'm having trouble getting the knuckle off. I have removed the tie rod, the drag link, and I got the upper ball joint nut off, but I can't quite figure out how to free up the lower ball joint nut (remains of yokes in the way), then how do I press it out with the remains of the axle yokes in the way? Anyone have pics of this procedure?

Any advice would be appreciated. And yes....I know...take better care of my U-Joints in the future.
