Removing spindles???

Find the unused area between the bearings and hit it with a hammer (not too hard). Once a gap forms at the knuckle stick a screwdriver or something in it and then hit it on the opposite side. Should come right off.
thanks. Got one off. Guess i just needed a bigger hammer. ha!
you can hit any area with one of these and no problems.

You can always buy a spindle removal tool if all else fails. It threads onto the spindle nut threads and then pushes against the axle stub to remove it.

Put some anti-seize on it when you re-assemble.

90 dollar deadblow.
Harbor freight has em for under 10 bucks. Won't last as long but it's well worth the money.
BIG sledgehammer and a piece of 2"x4" wood is what I use and it works great.
