Great suggestion, thank you. I'll try that first thing when I get home. Any suggestions for brands? I'm thinking I should have gone with Timken, but I'd forgotten the name because I haven't been working on cars for so long.

I got this AWESOME new tool. It's called "patience". It's replaced my large ball peen hammer. I take small actions, and when they don't produce results I walk away. When I return, the other new tool I picked up, "tolerance", allowed me to start all over again, like I'd never faced the problem before. Oh yah, when I went to pick up the new decklid for my car, the guy I got it from was kind enough to give me his spindle (he did the 5 lug swap). After taking all of your suggestions, thank you VERY much, I found that the problem was not the spindle. Down to parts store, new wheel seal, more patience, wala! I gotta slap the wheels back on and take it for a ride. I think due to all that's happened I'll pull the wheels off after the test ride and make sure everything remained tight. I was so pleased I didn't even get upset when I scratched the hood! Life is great. Thanks everyone.
