Title: HELP, bent spindle? Post by: charlesfl on February 05, 2006, 10:41:09 AM I have a 2003 Polaris Scrambler 500. My friend was riding it and SLAMMED into a tree root coming in one of the trails at CROOM. The wheel became locked up so we had to hobble back to the trailer and come home.
I took the tire off and immediately saw that the rotor was crooked in the caliper and the brake pads were locked around the rotor. I took the brake caliper off to get the hub spinning, and it looks a little crooked. I think that maybe the spindle is bent. Is this repairable? I took the cotter pin out, took the nut off, and can not get the hub off of the spindle to examine it. It should slide right off, right? It is more probable that the spindle is bent then the bearing damaged, correct? SOMEONE TELL ME! Title: Re: HELP, bent spindle?
