The thrust bearing is completely disintegrated on the front left side and I actually found the parts! But can’t get the front spindle out of the housing. There is too much slack for a pickle fork and hate to beat on the top that hard. Has anybody got any secrets? I was thinking about heating the housing......
On the the unpainted area --> hit it hard a few times with a 2 lb. hammer. It should nearly fall out.
Will try it. Have beaten on the nut for HOURS.... THANKS
