Beautiful... accidentally broke the front left spindle yesterday while trying to tap off the rusted rotor. I'm assuming that it's the spindle - the part that the caliper holder bolts to (with 17 mm bolts) just behind the dust covers.
Can anyone provide info or a link on how to replace the spindle. Looks like the hub needs to come off but I'm not 100%.
TIA.

i think this is what you're looking for. it might be possible to repace just the part that the caliper bolts to, but I think its an assembly.

Do a search for how to replace a wheel bearing. It will have all the information you need to take your knuckle off to get it replaced. there is a DYI in the DYI section.
