04" 1M spindle question

[strokeit]

Im going to be doing some powder coating and wanted to know if the front spindles come apart? The top and bottom move like there on with a bearing...? I know the crossfire's and M's have a shaft inside the spindle case,But not to sure if i can get the 1M's apart.

My xfire has a circlip at the top for disassembly, if it does not have one it can not be taken apart short of cutting the weld off at the top.

Ya they don't come apart! I guess im going to powder coat the arms and paint the spindles....DARN IT!!

Well the spindles turned out ok(painted).I just have to wait and see if they hold up.And i ended up getting the powder coating for free! The rails had alot of blow out on them(bubbles) and they had not plugged a few holes in the a-arms and the holes they did plug turned out really sloppy on the edges...So i asked them to redo them,They said that it was the material and it would just do it again. So i just told them im not paying for it......The rear skid actually looks pretty good.You can't see the blow out unless you look real close.
