I am currently trying to replace my left rear hub bearing. I almost have the spindle off but im having trouble getting it completely off the car. Can any one help me out.. Im having a hard time removing the bolt to the far right.. And im also having trouble removing the wire attached to the spindle on the left... Please help

 

Are you having trouble with the bolt that spins freely? I used a really thin set of vice-grips to hold the bolt while removing the nut and eventually was able to get it out.

When I did the other side, I found that removing the spinning bolt earlier in the process (instead of last) made a huge difference.

As for the speed sensor wire, I had one that came right out and one that was completely seized inside the spindle. In the case of the seized wire, I had to cut it and buy a replacement off eBay for $15 EDIT: because I was switching out the whole spindle assembly with another one.

Note that there are two types of wires: one with a little retaining bolt and one without.

 

Leave the wheelspeed sensor installed in the hub - it won't be in the way. Pop the rear seat cushion off and unplug the sensor, and feed the wire and connector out through the bottom of the car. For the lower trailing arm, ditto on the thin vise-grips. We actually ground down the jaws on a set of channelock pliers to fit in there and hold the shaft.

 

like redmond said, it might be too late now but if you loosen that nut FIRST you will have the easiest time. the ball joint will still be stuck in the spindle and it should not spin, should being the key word. if it is out of the spindle partially already, try banging the tie rod back into the spindle and then loosening the nut

 

i used the vice grip trick and it worked, but im pretty sure i messed up that part.. is it a tie rod? cus it def needs replacing now.. and that wire came out eventually too

 

^ yup, rockauto has them cheapest. actually they're on clearance there right now:
