The spindle is what attaches to the lower ball-joint. It is the part that the rotor/wheel spin on. It has the shiny part, just to make sure we're both talking about the same part. The spindle is attached by the upper, lower ball-joints, and the tie rod. Once you separate all 3 ball joint fittings, the spindle will be free. Actually, the spindle holds the lower ball-joint. I'm doing this off memory. The rotor comes off with the hun. To get it off, you need to pry the center cap off and then wipe out all that grease. Then you will see the horse-shoe shaped nut that is locked on by a small hex-bolt. Undo the hex-bolt then the horse-shoe nut can be spun off. You then should be able to remove the rotor. I can't remember if there is a hex-bolt that holds the rotor on also. If there is this other hex-bolt is is on the outside and is visible as soon as the sheel and caliper is off, etc. I am going to PM you my home telephone number so you can call me if you need any other tips or advice.
Thanks
