Spindle removal?

[jn2630]

What tools will I need to take off some spindles? I will be going to the junkyard to pick some spindles and everything I need for the disc brake conversion.

Spindle nut socket OEM brand from Autozone (I think) PN 25072 http://toolsandmore.us/oem25072-axlespindlelocknutsocket.aspx. 1/2 in ratchet w/ extension and a breaker bar (just in case), to use it. Assorted SAE wrenches and socket set. Drift pin & hammer for caliper retaining clip. Allen keys for lockout covers, set of pics to dig things out of the hub, and a big flat blade screw driver for prying. Oh and a few towels for all the goo.

Have fun!

I would bring whatever tools you need plus a chunk of 4x4 or 6x6 and a 3-5lb maul. Hold the wood on the spindle and hit it like it owes you money, or like a Chevy, whatever gets the most out of your swing ;D

Exactly what I was getting at.

There is a tool that threads onto the spindle and you screw your slide hammer into the other end. Spindles can be very stubburn if you do not have the right tools. You can get them from Snap-on, OTC, or other tool companies.
