My left front wheel outer bearings are tore up. I removed the caliper and rotor but how do I get the inner bearing off. Could it have damaged the spindle? it is tapered but i'm not sure how it is supposed to look.

If the inner bearing is stuck to the spindle, you may have to try to drive it off with a punch. If it got so bad that it welded itself to the spindle, you may have to replace it
