Crap, now what?
I'm trying to take my drop kit out and my hub is frozen into my mcguahtys 2" drop spindle. It's off the truck and the bolts are all out. As I tried to tap it out i made the wheel bearing cap come off.
Garage time never goes smooth for me I swear.

Re: Crap, now what?
you made the wheel bearing cap fall off? you should have to take that off to get to the castle nut holding the hub to the spindle. There is also a cotter pin that will keep the castle nut from spinning.

Re: Crap, now what?
Yeah , I'm guessing over here. maybe he's got a bearing stuck on the axle portion of the spindle. but the castle nut and cotter pin thing I forgot about.. Hmm maybe remove the caliper also ?
Cut it with a torch..Throw dirt into the grease.Put the cap back on.

Re: Crap, now what?
all i had to do to get my hub outta my spindle was loosen the bolts on the back side of the spindle and tap them a little bit. Dont hit the cap man.
