The inner bearing inside the rotor exploded, and the entire spindle assembly got so hot the spindle nut welded itself to the threads. Will have to take a puller to the rotor to get it off. But, I have to be able to replace the spindle portion and I see nothing online, just entire steering knuckles. There is no CV axle there because it is RWD. Behind the spindle there is a huge hex indention, as if it was made to be serviceable.

Hi,

Unfortunately, these are not servicable separate that I am aware of. There is no process in service manual for this either. In fact, I have replaced a ton of knuckles on these and they always come with the spindle.

I think the nut you are seeing is for manufacturing purposes only.

Sorry to not have better news.
