Guys, when I tell you a beat, pryed and cursed at that darn spindle for 3 hours last night and finally gave up. Taking the direction from 72lb4x4 I picked up a slide hammer and the spindle attachment from AutoZone. 4 hard slides and the spindle was off! Who would have thought that slide would have enough force to get it off after I had beat the heck out of it for 3 hours. Another lesson learned. Use the right tool. So AGAIN thanks for the help. Now i have to replace the axle ujoints (we all know how fun that is) and start the assemble.
THANKS AGAIN!!
Don
