First time I've seen that original post of yours with those pictures. Yep, that bearing is TOAST, and so is you spindle! Your gonna need a new one anyway.

I'm assuming you tried the puller on this, going behind the HUB (NOT the rotor), and you still can't get it off?

If above is true, then you just might as well take the entire spindle/hub assembly off the front control arm and strut. Put it on some blocks behind the hub area (NOT on the rotor outter edges, or you WILL be replacing the rotor also), and BEAT the living crap outta the end of that spindle (USE HARDWOOD, OR BRASS ON THE END OF HUB, OR YOU WILL PEEN IT OVER, AND STILL NOT CLEAR THAT), till it breaks loose from that hub. You just may need a new hub also. TRY to save the rotor at least, that is, IF, its any good.

That, is one NASTY bearing failure! I'LL BET THAT PUPPY WAS HOT!!

GOOD LUCK!

I don't see anything that indicates the need for a new hub or spindle. Races are still intact. My bet is that some bearing residue has worked between the inner race and the spindle. May need to use a torch and some extreme caution not to wreck the hub.
