Spent last Monday and today gettting my road wheel semi re-installed. I managed to get the spindle out by using a chop saw and cutting between the wheel hub and the cast part. The strange thing was that cutting on one end took about 1hr and the other only about 15min. I then had to use a sledge hammer to pound out the end of the spindel. I also drilled out a few bolts that had been stuck and re-tapped a few holes.
Today I used my new made spindle and everything went perfectly well. This wheel station is now waiting for some new bolts and then it should be reinstalled. I am worried somewhat because everything has gone tooo well.
