Wheel spindel wheel spindle

If you have already removed the spindle then you need to look at the inner side of the spindle (that faces teh car) and look for a snap ring (there should be one on one side of the spindle where the bearing is pressed in, if not then the bearing is pressed in and needs to be removed using a bearing press. this can be done by taking it to a local shop and paying them the nominal fee of like $20- $50(depending on their labor rate) and they will also replace the new bearing in it for you, other wise you are going to have to purchase a bearing press for your self.

• There is not a torque speck for that.

1. Just thread the adjuster into the spindle and tighten real good with a ratchet.
2. Then rotate the wheel forward to seat them bearings real good.
3. Give it another tighten then back that adjuster nut off 1/8 of a turn.
4. Then put the nut lock washer on over the adjuster nut and put a cotter pin in the hole.

• Your lug nuts are torqued at 100ft lbs though.

look for the (taper),,is on top or bottom,,on the spindle arm,,

I assume you mean a front wheel bearing went out?
Remove the axle nut.
Remove the wheel and brake caliper.
Remove the tierod end by first unbolting, then popping it off with a "picklefork" and hammer.
Remove the bottom balljoint.
Either unbolt the whole strut, or remove the spindle from the rest of the strut.
Pull the spindle off the axle splines.
Take the spindle to a press to push out the hollow stub axle.
Remove the bearing retainer.
The press out the bearing.
Do not use a hammer instead of a press, because it will damage the bearing. But you can use the weight of the vehicle like a press if you are really desperate.

Spindel of what ???

i have found that you need to first make sure the cv shaft is moving free in the bearing. soak everything with penitrating oil. you should be able to move shaft in & out a little. the hub is a very tight fit. you need to tap it some from side to side untill you see a little gap between hub and spindel. then place the head of a flat screw driver in that gap and all around the hub, prying back and forth where ever possible. soak, tap and pry all over. be hard on it if replacing, more gentle if not. good luck.

to start with, that is not a u-joint cover, it is a cv joint. if this is a chevy. you will have to pull the cv shaft out of the spindel. first loosen the outter tierod nut on the spindel, do not take off completely but just so its on finger tight. get a large hammer and hit the spindel right where the tierod goes through it. a couple of good shots and it should drop out take off nut and move outter tierod aside. now you are gonna do the same thing to the lower ball joint. only when your ready to hit that part of the spindel where the ball joint goes through get a prybar under the upper controll arm and get a budy to push up on it. as long as the shock is still bolted on your in no danger. pull the spindel out towards you from the bottom and you will have enough room to pull the shaft out of spindel to get the nuts. you might have to put ball joint back in without shaft in place to hold spindel still to break those bolts loose. make sure you use new cotter pins on ball joint and tierod nuts

IF YOU GOT SPINDLE OFF THE CV JOINT MUST OFF. YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT PRESSED OUT AND IN.

normally you can take off the spindel but if you remove brake disk and back plate you should be able to punch out the studs with no problem and than push new one in and press it in by tapping it with hammer on the back and than putting some washers over it and than tightening the lug nuts.
Or if you are comfortable with it remove the whole spindel section and put it on a work bench

you cant just change the bearings they are sold as one unit spindel and all about $300 bucks for the part.
