i can't get my transaxle nut off, front left. I tried using a 2' breaker w/ a 2' pipe on it with
225lbs sitting on it. tried heat, pb blast..one quick thing is, it is counter clockwise right?
and do i need that off to pull the axles out of the tranny?
thanks

 

I think it spins off backwards, to keep it from spinning off when the car is moving forward.

 

so it is clockwise?
in the service manual it shows the guy turning it counter?
i might just have to put the wheels on and take it to a shop to use an air gun
but every is all rwady disconnected..

 

It's counter clockwise. I broke 2 breaker bars getting mine off. I bought an air impact and it came right off.

 

I don't get how ppl can't get it off
if its installed correctly, then there should be no problem

make sure to torque it properly, and to stake the nut

only time ive had problem with getting that nut off is when someone else cross threaded the nut by using air tools to put it on.

 

Yea, one of mine came off with almost no effort, and the other came off by using a little jumping force. It was on a 97 gsr btw.

 

When i changed the axles on my DA, the nuts were on so damn tight. I tried everything! Since my new replacement axles came with new nuts, i just drilled 1 line in the nut and split it, then removed it
