Jake, does that have a solid front axle or independent? If independent don't try to replace one of the front hubs. The bearings went in mine on the driver's side. Got a new one off Ebay from Dearborn Axle for only $50. It's still sitting on the garage floor because I can't get the old hub out of the spindle. The damn thing welded itself inside the spindle. Been beating on it for 2 days and it hasn't moved. Used up a tank of MAP gas heating the spindle around it, hasn't moved. My compressor has been running non-stop feeding a cutoff wheel, it hasn't moved. The thing is hardened steel because the bearing races are part of it so you can't cut it, grind it, beat it.

May be time to just buy a new spindle and be done with it. I have problems with my right solder and beating on this ting is not helping at all.

Anyway, good luck with your burb. A axle hub is nothing compared to an engine.
