I have a '89 Jimmy (full size) and can't get my front spindles off. I'm sure that they are rusted into the steering knuckle. I need to replace the front ball joint so need to get the spindles off. I have owned three different full size Blazers/Jimmys and have never had this issue before.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Heat and a hammer are you friend now. I had similar issues with a '75 Dana 44. The dirt, grime and corrosion self welded the parts together. I was rebuilding the entire axle so I took the steering knuckle off and worked on a bench.
