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.
