That sucks; looks like you're going to have a parts list pretty soon.
Any pics of how bad it got fucked?

close. I could rock the hell out of it when it was still on the ground
You should probably go ahead and replace both of them. Remember how I asked if you had a bearing going out on the passenger side because of how hot it was? Only reason I didn't say it was DEFINITELY out was because the driver side was just as hot... and that's the one that broke :eek:

well if I do that I'll replace the bearing vs cranking up the cost more from the dealer

Yeah, it's not hard to do. Besides, I really want to see if we can use a hi-lift instead of a hydraulic press to press the hub.

as long as it doesnt look like its gonna hurt anything ill try it
Sweet, let me know when you wanna do it. We should probably do it durring the day so we can take it to a shop to get it pressed for a few bucks if we strike out. I have some pretty awesome ideas on how to make it work though
I got mine in and out without a press when I swapped my spindles... I just don't remember how - I think my brain is slowly going. Oh well, as long as I have a smile - or even a good smirk - when it goes completely, I'll be happy.
I used to remember EVERYTHING. Last few years it's been frustrating that I can't anymore. Not getting that old or anything, but it's lame that I don't have full access to my knowledge center
I used to wonder how my dad could forget how to do things that I knew how to do when he was the one who taught me. I know now, and it only gets worse

Mocked up the front today. The elongated holes are out of adjustment and it's still too close to the fenders I think? Any idea what to use to bore the holes out a bit? I was thinking carbide bit for a die grinder?

The actual hub and bearing is easiest to do in a press it can be done with a high lift but you have to be careful to square it up or you'll destroy the new bearing. Getting the hub bearing assembly out of the spindle was cake i just used a slide hammer with a hub pulling attachment. You can also leave the bearing bolted to the knuckle and use the same hub pulled to knock the hub out of the bearing

dam...after almost a year of waiting he could of at least oiled the metal. That sucks. I'd just take it and get it sand blasted and powder coated......after you make the holes longer
edit: and it looks like yours is short on the driver side as well
.........I hope thats not the case because Lurry, Virgil, and I told him about that issue years ago when we got ours out of his first batch.
