I wanted to explain the "stuck" spindle thing a little better and include the link to the article for the disk brake swap. When i unbolt the backing plate and spindle from the knuckle...the spindle pulls the whole axle out of the housing...but the axle spins freely inside the spindle...not sure whats going on. I looked at the back of the spindle and I don't see anything holding it in there. I wanted to ask before I try to start separating anything with some "force".
