At least it's the drivers side, that just falls out... passenger side is more complicated... I would check the other 2 joints too though for good measure...

make sure the drivers inner tulip seal isn't destroyed.

those joints are bastard heads to change.

i used to be good at it and do the centers with a custom air hammer head and chisel pik and block of wood shaped to wedge with receiver holes.

Those axle u-joints are some of the tiniest I have ever changed. But I do not remember any problems changing them. I had a f150 with a ttb changing the axle joints, I did not think they were coming out. Rust again.

P.S. If you need to straighten the threads up on your old spindle, these files work well and are a good addition to your toolbox.

Im really thinking about sourcing a spindle. Theres a junkyard about an hr away has one for 40 bucks according to carpart.

Since i gotta yank it anyways.

Those thread files are priceless...

I bought a Snap On set back in the mid 80's. Cleaned up a bunch spindles over the years.

When I replaced my spindle hardware I found out they were Geo wheel studs. M10 and just hammers in from the back. Don't worry about snapping them.
