Never seen one like this... what, if you can't hammer it off, cut it? Am I going to need a new spindle?
I just wanted to change a set of wheel bearings (I couldn't tighten the slop out of the wheel) and this is what I found.... java script:emoticon(':WTF:', 'smid_8')  |

Lucky you found it in time.....bet your going to check the other side now! Thanks for the wake up call on old cars owned by many people. |

Incredible. The cut measures out at .189 max depth.
"Gee, I don't know what happened! All I did was turn to the right and the wheel fell off!" Time to look for a used strut.... |
