zboi Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 So my spindle pin won't come out of my knuckle assembly. I put it in a press and it is bending the rear control arm instead of pushing out the pin. Wondering if anyone has a knuckle I could use, don't need any bearing or stun axle or anything just the bare knuckle assembly. Passenger side.

NW240Z Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Rear strut housing? I might have something, what year / model are you working on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72240Z Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I have a 73 240 in Asheboro NC. Did you take the spindle lock bolt out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam280Z Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Where are you? What year Z? Which side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zboi Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 It's a 73 240z passenger side and yes the lockbolt is out. I'm in Raleigh NC. A little over an hour from Asheboro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverdone Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Have you tried making a spindle pin puller? Or you could even buy/rent one from Zcardepot https://zcardepot.com/tools/spindle-pin-removal-tool-240z-260z-280z.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zboi Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) The threads got mashed from being beaten on and pressed, and then I welded a rod to them to try to twist it so it would break free and it just snapped the bolt. This thing is seriously stuck in there bad. Edited May 24, 2017 by zboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72240Z Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Do you need the whole strut? It sounds like you may need the A arm too.It's to wet today but I think Saturday is going to be nice. If you want to pull the parts I will let you have the strut the A arm and the axle for $65 Edited May 24, 2017 by 72240Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to pull the parts I will let you have the strut the A arm and the axle for $65 I'd take you up on that. My only concern is what if the pin is frozen real bad in that one too. Its a fair bit of work getting all that taken off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
