That seems to be the only options I have found as well. I'm banking on an ecology/pick a part run today. Thanks for the info!

megtom2 is an unknown quantity at this point

Just found this problem on my 95 Blazer 4wd. Did you guys just go with a bolt and nut or did you end up changing out the spindle with a used one? No way I'm paying $225+ for a part on a car that isn't worth much more than that.
Thanks

Just go to AutoZone and get a set of over size self taping caliper bolts, worked great here. Now I'm having trouble with my driver side door dropping down and inch when it's open. Took it to a body shop yesterday and they want $350 to weld over the very large egg shape door pin holes and re-drill them and new pins upper and lower hinge. I figure it would be worth that to have the door shut right again. Pain in the but having to lift the door an inch to get it to shut.
