replacing alot to fix a little.

So I have posted before about not being able to break the axle nut on my passenger side, and come to find out my axle was fine, it was my tie-rod end. Well, now the nut still wont come off, and my wheel bearing is BAD on my passenger side. I feel like the only way to repair it is to remove the whole part that the bearing is in, the big part that connects to the tie road end, and all that. i dont know what the part is called.

So if i pull that part from a pick-n-pull place, would it be hard to replace the part i dont know the name for?

The Spindle? (There your tire mounts? Hopefully the bearing that comes in your used spindle is OK, otherwise you will need a bearing too.

spindle thats it.

so if i pull the spindle, how would i get the axle out if the axle nut is still stuck?

What have you attempted to use to remove it? A breaker bar with a 32mm socket, cheater bar and a jack-stand should break I free. Maybe take it to a shop and let them loosen it for you?

To press a bearing on should be no more than 35 bucks. I say use a breaker bar with a cheater bar if you need to it should come off.

Make sure you are using a penetrating fluid such as PB Blaster, WD-40, Cryogen... If this doesn't work, you could always resort to heating the nut.

This is what you need to rent (extra heavy duty hub puller CTA4320 1" screw): http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=66514&d=1154592925.
Keep the axel nut on backwards flush with the spindle end to keep threads from mushrooming.
