That one was a pain in the butt, I can't remember exactly what I used, but alot of different hand tools later, I think I ended up using an open end wrench.

I use a 12 point open ended wrench to hold the top and a deep well 12 point to remove the bottom nut. You might have to use a jack to angle the rear axle so that the bolt will come out.

get your car high up in the rear and place it on jack stands. put a jack under the actual rear end and lower it until the bolt comes off. I did mine on a lift and it was a lot easier. It was a pain to get that bolt out but eventually it will come out.

yeah well me and my dad lifted the body of the car after it was on the jack stands and then i got under it and and pulled it out it was hard but we got the sucker out. it would have been nice to have a access to a lift.
