Are these spindles any good?

Are these spindles any good? - 01/02/13 01:39 AM

I bought these years ago, they are E-body pieces and I want to install them on my 69 B-Body for my disc brake conversion.

I am a little concerned with the rust on bearing surfaces.
Looks like surface only should I be worried or just clean them up and go? What is the best way to clean them?

Or should I just call em a loss and get new ones?

Pic didn't show so I'm not sure, see if it cleans up and see how well the bearings fit. Went thru this a few years ago, as long as there is no pitting you should be fine.

try some fine grit emery paper and varsol. I think it will clean up ok.

Those are fine, the bearings ride on races anyway.

the only critical point is the area where the inner wheel seal rides....

Thanks guys.

I will clean them up with Evapo Rust and see if they are pitted.

What are the specs for where the bearings/races ride on?

Thanks
