Help - spindle removal

Once you take the six nuts off the spindle flange, pop it a few times with a rubber mallet. Do it sideways as if it were a nail you are trying to bend over.
If you don.t have a rubber mallet or a rubber coated deadblow hammer, use a piece of cedar or other soft wood to protect the spindle as you hit it.
It should pop right off.

This sounds like it wouldnt do anything, but whack the knuckle, not the spindle, a few times with a non-rubber mallet.
You dont have to hit it too hard, but I bet after one or two good whomps, you'll see some movement.
Most of the time when I get one side off, I walk over and the other side is just hanging there.

What you are referring to is the wheelhub and rotor. I have the wheelhubs and rotors off of the spindles. My problem is I can not get the spidles off the knuckles. They are friggen stuck good. I have also hit the knuckles with an 8lb. sledge hammer and still couldn't get them loose. I'm at a loss here.
