depending on how bad the threads are on the stud you might be able to get a thread restorer to clean them up. that will save money on buying a new spindle. but as far as that washer goes, did you actually pull out the cotter pin? or did the ends of it break off leaving the insides of the cotter pin in place? because that might be what is preventing the washer from sliding out.
