Any tips on how to get the spindle off of the knuckle. I got everything apart and can't break the two apart. Its seized on there good.
Thanks!

Sure. Slide Hammer and Spindle Socket is the correct method.

Sand the surface rust and grease the Knuckle where the Spindle seats. Hopefully it'll come off easier next time.
I killed an hour fighting with one side on my Truck. A friend came over with teh Socket and slide hammer and the other side was off in 30 seconds. I went out and bought both a slide hammer and that socket.
I've used it on this 'X' and my Jeep. It paid for itself in the lack of aggrivation.
It has 3 different thread sizes. it fits most 4WD vehicles.

Haha, that may not be the correct method, but it is the common method!
