I am trying to remove the spindle on the long side of a front dana 44 open knucle axle. The short side popped off after I removed the dust shield and rotor but the long side is killing me. I removed the rotor and dust sheild but can't get the spindle off. Last time I couldn't get something off it turned out the ujoints have a ring on the inside as I was told by a member so instead of beating the heck out of the hub I thought I would ask advice first. I can't imagine rust holding something that tight. So is there any trick to getting that darn spindle off?
As always, any help would be highly apprecated!
