Default Help!

I've been working on removing all the brake hardware, front and rear. I've finished with the front and am working on the back. Both rear calipers are off the car and I've got both rear axles detatched.

I can't get the spindles out! What do I do now?

Thanks for any help. BTW, it's a 1977.

Why do you want to remove the spindles? I thought you were working on the brakes? Do you want to replace, repack the rear bearings? If so, remove the trailing arms and send them to someone like Van Steel or Volunteer Vettes to do them for you. They do them everyday and its is worth the time saved unless you have the tools and expertise to do this job.
