Here's the instructions that Jack wrote about this for the HD spindle kit:
"Remove the old spindle. This is usually (but not always) pretty easy 
and can be done on the car. Remove the bolts that hold the upper ball 
joint in place, swing the upright down and onto a wood block, for 
example, screw the inner nut to the end of the threads, and hit the 
end of the stub axle HARD. The old stub axle usually falls out."

You screw the nut to the end of the threads to protect the end of the 
axle from mushrooming.  I pretty much followed this method, but I'm 
not sure how good the threads are on the ones that came out of my car 
- but I didn't intend to re-use them anyway.
