Removing spindle
Do you guys know any tricks on removing an rusted spindle, i have one on another front end and i've been whacking at it with a rubber hammer and the sob wont budge. Is there tool that can pull this out?
p.s. dont know if this is the rite catagory to put this in but i'll give it a shot.

Well I had good luck with a dead blow hammer but if that's not cutting it try putting a good chunk of wood over the spindle and smack that sucker with a heavy hammer. If you have a torch (a real torch, not a propane torch) you can try heating the spindle at the base but I don't know what this might do to the bearings and seals.

Heating it with a torch, thats a good idea i'll give that a shot. I have an uncle with one of those spindle puller tools, i gave him a call but wasnt home so ill have to try later on that.
