If the spindle isn't totally destroyed, cutting off the bearing inner race and polishing the spindle will probably be ok, but if its got deep cuts or has a twist, or if its bent dump it. look very closely at the groove to see any twist.Don't chance it if you get the feeling its borderline then get rid of it.And if you don't like GM go buy something else, all trucks need their front wheel bearings re-packed once in a while, read the owners manual.
