    Just got my new MaxTrac spindles in the other day. I dont know whether to just take em to a shop and have them install the spindles or save money and do it myself... Any recommendations?

    If you are at all capable, I would do them.. I had to replace my stock spindle/knuckle last week, so basically the same thing. Was pretty straight forward.. It's gonna take some patience, but just keep loosening the 4 bolts to get the bearings out..

    Step 2: Loosen the 4-17mm bolts per side from the sealed bearing. [Tip- Striking the wrench with a hammer may be necessary to break loose the hardware]
    Step 3: Loosen the bolts as far out as possible. Grab the front of the hub and wiggle back and forth. Continue loosening the 17mm bolts until the hub is removed.
