Re: front wheel bearig race stuck!

Chances are, if the bearing seized to the spindle, the spindle is ruined as well; so it doesn't really matter that you got the old one off, except that now you get to observe the carnage.

I'd say, junkyard spindle time.

Re: front wheel bearig race stuck!

The race is supposed to be able to just slip on and off, and spin freely.

If the inner race seized to the spindle sufficiently that you couldn't spin it or take it off, then there's a good possibility that the surface on the spindle that the bearing goes on, is damaged. Otherwise the race wouldn't have been seized to it.
