Those lower spindles were not available and were a major pain to get off my
car. When I finally got them off I had no threads left in some places. They
were not stripped as to be re-threaded; they were just gone like some parts
of my hair line.
Good thing I had a parts car to complete the bottom. As for the top, yank
away as all those parts are available.

set)
