    Take the other side off so you can get the right replacement, and replace both of them.

        If you have the mfgr you can probably get it. Otherwise you will have to measure the axle and hub diameters to get the right size bearings.

          Manufacturer's website will have the details. I just replaced both of my hubs. Not as bad, was not a major deal though. Agree with smoothing out that spindle.

            Yeah, that is what is left of the bearings on the spindle. The races are in the hub. Replace bearings and races. If you clean up the hub and look there should be two notches that allow you to drive the races out.

            Here's a link that should help.
