   well it doesn't!
   
   that is the offside one isn't it Scott!
   
   its like locked on i didn't know if there was a snap in clip on it or something cuz it moves about half an inch then locks out like something is stopping it!
   
   you know what its like dont want to pull to hard just incase you do more damage than good!

   ah sorry thought you meant the passenger side to
   
   the driverside one will probably ahve intermediate bearings, loosen the bolts then turn them 90 degrees so that their offset head are clear of the bearing outer race. Then you should be able to pull it out.
