Wheel Bearing Oops - Spindle Question

[74desertduster]

So I didn't check out my wheel bearings when I got my Swinger a few months ago and the right front is so loose when I jacked up the car I'm surprised I didn't lose the whole assembly on the road. I know better. Something hasn't been right and I let it go....anyway

I am anticipating a trashed spindle but I can't seem to find anybody who stocks them. Anybody know? I have tried all my local parts places.

71 Dart Swinger, Slant 6, Drum Brakes

I will probably need a refresher on removing the spindle, it's been many moons since I have had to change one.

Thanks!

Brian

Yet another guy who needs a shop manual.

Download one here:

(The 72 manual is close enough)

Only place you'll get a spindle is a junk yard or somebody (like on here) who is junking a car. Not a parts store item

Shop manual...what's that? lol....thanks!...awesome to have it.

I got lucky, the spindle is fine, bearings aren't even trashed, just really loose so worn I guess. Will replace and count my blessings.

It wore down the outer bearing race seat area...so when I put the new race in it has play side to side. Bummer. Gotta find a hub.

Good luck with that, I called them 2 or 3 times months ago for some parts and have yet to get an answer.
