So whaddyer think? 1. Leave it. 2. Grind it as best you can. 3. Find another. Spindle pix This whole axle has been pretty rough. Maybe I should find another, although, it looks ok, and the other spindle is ok. Trying to do those kaiser no ream king pin kit. Thanks for your opinions/time. | | |

Loctite makes a bearing mounting compound you might try. Other wise replace the spindle. Death to cave men!!
if it dosen't need fixed, break it

This product is hard to disassemble , but the careful application of heat ( say 350deg) will degrade the loctite enough to remove parts . | | |

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

Find the p.o., connect one electrode to his tongue, the other to his tallywhacker, and slowly remove him from the gene pool. A 5 amp increase every 30 minutes should do it.
