Pick N Pull Etiquette - Spindle Removal Sequence
Pick N Pull Etiquette - Spindle Removal Sequence
So in order to get my suspension in tip top shape I have to fix a bent spindle so I'm going down to the pick n pull to grab a part off an old FC rx7 vert, is there a certain order to going about taking off the spindle? Besides removing the caliper, rotor and wheel. Should I do the strut last? 
More so what do I do with the wheel when I'm taking the spindle with me???

Try to break everything loose first while its attached to the car. Strut mount ears, outer tie rod ends, ball joint, and brake caliper bolts.
I would take off the caliper and rotor first. Then take a pickle fork and loosen and remove the tie rod end. Then pull off the strut and the ball joint. The hub should be in your hands at that point.

Fast and easy way to take it off in the yard,IF you are not getting charged for "extras".
Take the Steering rack adjuster nut at the Tie rod and loosen it,turn the inner rod so that the Tie rod stays on the Knuckle.Steering rod will turn,separating the tie rod from the Steering rcak.
Clip the Brake line after the holder( cut the steel line) on the car.(you get a free Flex hose)
undo the lower control arm bolts under the car.
Undo the 4 coilover bolts up top.
Plop..
Doing it this way you do not need to separate anything in the yard and can do so at home.
