My bad, didn't mean to come off as a butt hole. I guess at this point anything is worth a try.

I can't even begin to imagine the nightmare of trying to cut through a hardened bearing race with a dremel tool. Your either gonna have to yank it off with a puller or cut the bearing with a plasma cutter or torch.

Hub is the same. Just put a plug in it where the ctis line goes in and be sure to put new races in.

Ya I hear you there. A buddy of mine has some a3 ctis parts and axle parts but no front spindles. Crap like what your going through is exactly why I DON'T like the a3.

If the new owner doesn't care about ctis you can switch to a2 spindles and bearings. If they do then try: Red River truck parts in Texarkana TX. Army Surplus of Dodge City KS. Memphis equipment. TNJ Murray. Eastern Surplus. Remember to call these places. Some of those don't sell parts right...

I forgot to mention all of the ctis crap is welded or soldered onto the spindle itself. So if you get everything off simply unbolt the spindle from the knuckle and all you will need extra is a new pair of spindles.

If you get a new pair of spindles and you have bearings, hub, and drums from a rear axle that should cover most bases. You will also need to replace the o-rings in there for the ctis. But those should be changed anyways.

Man that looks bad. I guess you could get a punch and a BFH and hit that race side to side and see if you can break it loose. Then just stick the puller on. The seal retainer and the u-joint should keep the axle from moving backwards.

I believe john at TNJ Murray has a couple of a3's he's parting out. Might try and give him a call. I'm trying to think of how you could put a puller on it but there's not much inside that hub to brace the puller on.
