It doesn't have a spindle. It has a steering knuckle and hub. To remove it: 1. Remove the hubcap and loosen the driveaxle retaining nut. 2. Remove the wheel and the driveaxle nut. Tap the end of the driveaxle with a hammer and a brass drift to loosen the splines in the hub. 3. Remove the brake calilper and support it with a piece of wire. 4. Separate the tie rod from the steering knuckle arm. 5. Unbolt the strut from the steering knuckle. 6. Remove the clamp bolt and the nut and detatch the ball joint from the steering knuckle. 7. Pull the hub and the steering knuckle off the drive axle.

What does the Tie rod on a 2003 ford focus look like?
Look under the front end of the car. You will find round bars, or rods going horizontally from the steering gear to the wheel spindle / steering knuckle assemblies on both sides. Those are the tie rods. There are 2 parts that make up the connecting tie rod: * The inner tie rod connects to the steering 'rack and pinion' assembly on the inside, and to the... * Outer tie rod, aka tie rod 'end' - which then mounts into the backside of the steering knuckle
What are upper control arms?
Ah, well, see.... When you drive the car, the wheel spins. It is attached through a round thing, called a bearing, to a rigid object called a spindle or a knuckle. The spindle has to be able to move up and down to allow for bumps in the road and if it's a front wheel (or rear wheel with 4 wheel steering) it has to be able to turn for steering. The spindle is attached to the vehicle in at least three points to hold it steady. An upper control arm attaches to the spindle at the top of the spindle and keeps if from moving in a left/right direction. On some (but not all) vehicles it can also keep it from moving forward/backward and can push the spindle down and car up. It is usually attached to the spindle via a ball joint.
How do you replace front wheel bearings on a 1995 ford escort?
Their are two ways, first of all you need to remove the whole steering knuckle from the vehicle. First remove the brake caliper, and brake rotor. Then remove the axle from the knuckle, the two top bolts from the strut, lower control arm, and the outer tie rod. Then at this point you can just replace the whole knuckle. Or, the bearing sits in the knuckle behind the part where the rim would normally bolt to. It is a pressed in bearing, so in order to remove it you would need a press, hydraulic or manual. Face the knuckle downward, and with the proper press tool press the bearing out from the top until the spindle drops out, then press the bearing off the spindle. You can now reverse the process to install the new bearing.
