While overhauling my front brakes I found a couple of spindle flange bolts that had snapped off. Not sure when or where it happened but figured now would be a good time to replace them all. The only one that snapped off and couldn't be replaced with a spicer bolt without removing the lower ball joint was the very bottom bolt so I replaced it with a regular grade 8 bolt and nut with some red loctite. It's worth noting that for this k15 / dana 44 axle the oem spindle flange bolts and nuts are made by spicer and are 3/8 24 (fine thread) x 1 1/2" long. While I was at it,now also seemed to be a good opportunity to clean the spindle, needle bearings, replace the seals and make a movie lol.
