I am replacing rear bearings and seals and can't get the spindles to come out of the bearing hub. I have removed the cotter pin the spindle nut, and washer, also the flange hub. The shop manual says that the spindle should pull out of the hub. Mine will not budge, what am I missing here? Need help!
Thanks in advance!!!

Here's a link in case you need parts. You need to bring the spindle to be pressed out on a press. If you don't have a press and the right equipment you could do damage to the spindle. Bring it to a machine shop that has the right equipment and they'll press out the spindle and install the bearing for you. Good luck.
