Re: removing spindle...dana 30 on an 85 cj7
That is probably true as you guys say, but the CJ comes apart entirely
differently and this method can't even be used.

Re: removing spindle...dana 30 on an 85 cj7
Sure it can. Just leave the axle in like he did. The axle bolt holds
the bearings in the same way.
It puts as much stress on a YJ hub as a CJ one doing it that way.

When you go back together be SURE to replace the outer stub shaft seal
inside the spindle. Replace the little o-ring like seal on the stub shaft
too, where it rides up against the needle bearing.

I guess my spindles come off too easily. It would never occur to me that a
slide hammer would get this stuff apart.
