Have read many methods of fitting the front hubs to the spindles (heating the hub, freezing the spindle, brute force), I decided to be patient and use 1” strips of emery to reduce the spindle shaft diameter to provide a fit requiring hand pressure only.
I plan on keeping my car for many years, inevitably during that time the bearings may need replacing and as such I would like to be able to remove the hub without destroying the spindle.
Some would say there is a possibility to cause ovality when using emery to reduce the spindle shaft diameter leading to premature bearing failure, however working at 90 degree intervals and counting the sanding strokes provides consistency during the reduction process.
