I've been thinking a bit about Amazon brakes and such.
This has led me to several questions I cannot answer while I am at work (and, once home, would rather answer after the snow clears).

These should be quick answers for anyone with a tape measure and an Amazon steering knuckle lying about.

1. Is the spindle/knuckle one piece, or is it possible to press the spindle itself out of the knuckle?

2. What is the distance (inches or mm, I'm easy) from the face of the spindle (where the inner bearing seats) to the face of the outer bearing (where the hub nut threads)? And what thread size is the hub nut?

3. Slightly more difficult: How far from the face of the inner bearing does the brake rotor inner face start? (That is, what is the clearance or offset from the face of the spindle to the start of the brake rotor?)

4th (and last for now). Imagine a triangle from the lower balljoint. The first side (hypotenuse) is the shortest distance between the two balljoints (outside edges of knuckle where the balljoints seat). The second, and shortest, side is from the upper balljoint to directly over the lower balljoint. The third side completes the triangle, direct down to the lower balljoint mounting face. What are the lengths of the three sides?

I've got diabolical plans in mind. I hope someone can answer these before I decide to swim ashore and start searching for an Amazon (at present location, more likely to find the mythological kind before I find the automotive kind anyway).

Thanks in advance!

Ben
