only hard part is getting the spindle off the knuckle. Take a lead hammer so that it won't mess up the spindle threads. I had to resort to PB blaster and an air chisel on all of mine. Find the least rusty donor.

Might be easier in the long run to pull the whole axle and take your time at home. The JY will torch it off for you....
