No you have to loosen the lower ball joint take the spindle out of the lower control arm to pull the axle out. I was able to pull the axle thru the steering knuckle .After removing locking hub, rotor and spindle. (a slide hammer worked well for spindle)

What is a steering knuckle?
The steering knuckle is the irregularly shaped solid piece of steel behind the front wheel. If you take away the wheel, brake calliper, disc, tie rod end, strut, sway bar, control arm and drive axle what's left is the steering knuckle. The steering knuckle should contain a bearing or set of bearings that are usually pressed in at a machine shop or garage.
How do you replace front spindle on a 1997 ford escort?
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.

This could be a number of items wrong. Typically, the steering column bolts break. There is a "knuckle" at the end, you should be able to look under the hood and see where it connects to. Or, your steering wheel could be loose. Either way, DO NOT DRIVE, until you have it figured out.
