Ford Repair: 2001 ford taurus, bolt and nut, wheel hub

Question
I'm replacing wheel hub and I don't know what to do after I have center nut removed and I can't push spindle back far enough to get 3 bolts out. I have tie rod removed and I removed nut from bottom of control arm to ball joint but I am concerned about how strut and spring will react when this is pushed out and do I need to remove control arm completely  before using pitman tool to release ball joint?

Answer
u have to remove the center nut andand then remove teh caiplerand rotor then   remove the bolt and nut for lower ball joint , and then u have to disconnect lower control arm from spindle and once that is done get a air hammer and chisel out the axle and them remove 3 bolts on back and done
