Re: [FWDLK] Bearing Stuck

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike72@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should clean up the spindle and inspect it closely for any wear marks 
or tool marks in the bearing race area, the inner race should be a close 
fit on the spindle and it would not take much of a ding in the surface to 
make things too tight. A light polishing of the bearing area with a strip 
of emery cloth will do no harm and will make things slide easier.
