Your right about the heavy load on the spindle, when I disassembled mine, it took a lot of torque to break loose, used my torque wrench on the other side, slowly increasing until I found the magic #. wrote it down somewhere?, I believe it was about 80lbs.. obviously, they installed them for the constant lateral load. Like a buddy once told me.........that's what engineers get paid for.
