Im talking about the Upper Control Arm(Axle End). I can turn the nut but the other side keeps spinning and its not a nut.

How can I stop that tab from turning?? i was thinking theres probably a special tool for this

Yeah I figure Cuting was my only route,,,, Im was alone trying to take it off but I found a 1-1/8" wrench works good for holding that clip,, but i need someone to hold it while I turn the nut.

If it works ill post some pics to show you what im talking about.

Thankz
