Brake spindle

also some heat
I don’t remember that’s why I’m asking….. does that bolt go through to the spindle…..?……Or just into the backing plate……?…… if it doesn’t go through to the backing plate I’m sure you won’t be using the backing plate for your new disc brakes so is it necessary to remove it…….And if you’re not trying to save anything if you can cut the head of the bolt off remove the part and expose the shank of the bolt even easier
Goes into spindle.... Take the wrench on box end and grind flat to remove bevel so wrench gets a deeper grip. Can do wth deep socket also .I did that to a deep socket Then used impact wrench . Breakover bar works too. You might not like doing that to a snap on wrench!!

Grind the socket flat on end taking inside bevel off will grab nut deeper. If its rounded off now by slipping take small pipe wrench on round portion with cheater pipe over pipe wrench .
Oh forgot to mention some have a tin washer behind that you have to take a chisel to peel the locking tabs away from nut.
I've had to resort to doing that very same thing, the last owner tried to remove it and there were no flats on the nut, just rounded shoulders...simple and effective method...
After you get that bolt off don't forget to take the inner bearing race of the spindle, it's still on there
kroil wont help too much when the nut has been chewed up...
Removing hub removes inner bearing and grease seal as a assembly. Inner race is inside hub on inner bearing. That inner raised portion on spindle is where grease seal rides.
Whats address, will send you a bill!!!
