Hey truckernix, what i am seeing is after I removed the spindle nut and washer the metal housing that holds the bearing balls in place was apart, what I have now is the b balls are still there with a sleeve on the spindle keeping them from coming out. I have tried to gently smack that sleve to see if it will move in or move at all and it is really stuck. Ican grab on to the brake drum and it moves in and out about 1/4" and that is all. I really do not understand what is going on.
