Default Help with rear bearings.. Whats next? [Pics]

Okay the pics show where I am at. I don't see how the spindle comes out. I've got every thing that I could unbolt or un clip off. I just don't see what’s next. Those of you that have done this what else should I buy along with the bearings, seals and shim kit? thnx for the help in advance.

There is a tool that fits over the end of the spindle and you hammer it out. :smash: :smash:

So can you get it out without this tool your talking about?
could i just use a hammer to beat it :smash: out? or should i just take the trailing arm off and take that to the guy that is going to rebuild them?

I think the third line in the rear bearing section of the Chevy chassis overhaul manual reads "get a BFH and knock the hell out of it until the spindle comes out".... :D

Do it right. Take the trailing arm off and take it to the rebuilder. Odds are that the bushings in the t-arms need to be replaced too. May as well do it right the first time. :cheers:
