Default spindle nut

i am trying to get the spindle nut off my right front axel on my 1992 accord wagon and i am wondering if i need to do it with and impact wrench or just a rachet? What size socket is it. two of the lug studs broke off before i needed to do this and i dont know that i can put the car back on that wheel without further damaging it.

Make sure you "unstake" the axle (spindle) nut, then either use an impact (keep switching from reverse to forward and back to get it loose) or use a ratchet with a super *** long breaker bar. The size should be either a 32mm or 36mm.

Get a good breaker bar and KickAss Tool #2 and it will come right off with a bit of leverage.


KickAss Tool #1 ===> 36" Crow Bar
KickAss Tool #2 ===> 36" Hollow Steel Pipe
KickAss Tool #3 ===> Mallet
