WC Spindle removal

LWW · Apr 3, 2011

How do you go about removing the spindles from the bolster on a narrow front WC? I don't think they're welded in, and suspect they can be replaced, but don't know how they are removed. Any and all help will be appreciated, thank you.

I don"t think they were welded in.
There should be a pin holding the spindles in.
If yours are welded I would think someone did that. Not the factory.

Like the other Jim says- they are pinned. Clean it up well after removing the hubs, wire brush the paint, and you should find them. Often flush with the casting, so you need to look carefully for the telltale circle. I don"t know if they are tapered pins, but just in case, I would not pound on any end sticking out.

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks for the help, guys.

Should be a straight pin.

But I think they are only sold as an assembly.

I would think there are a ton of used ones out there, tho!

The bearing sometimes turn and ruin the center part. The spindles should still be alright.
