Long day. Went to get a caliper locally at a family owned store. Made in China :rolleyes:
and to add salt to the injury - it has nicer looking casting and finsh than the AC Delco or Cardones I've previously bought.
Spindle is still hanging on the steering knuckle. Apparently the solution will involve more force.
Got home and my nieghbor had grabbed a package (befoer any porch thief could) texted me, and then offered a bowl of japanese curry his wife made. Super nice!
