Title: Spindle
Post by: 79Intruder on December 11, 2012, 04:56:03 PM

Ok here I am the other day trying to get the belly pan off. I got everything except the two spindles off. I undid the two bults, Now How do you separate them?

If they turn free they should come out.

I have put bolts back into the spindles without the large flat washers, and used a large drive punch or steel rod and hammer them out.  Make sure you bottom the bolts out.  This can wreck the bolts, but save the spindles.

The spindles have a bushing at the top and one at the bottom. In between them is , well, nothing. I have seen them accumulate rust in there and make them tough to get out.  Lots of penetrating fluid......
