Removing spindle nut - which direction?
Hey, I removed that last week and it's a TOTAL bitch.
I broke a 1/2" breaker bar and the 3/4" breaker bar with 5' cheater was just rotating the wheel with the brakes applied. Had to get a 1200ft/lb impact wrench(1" drive) to break that sucker loose.
I have no clue what it was torqued on at, but my driver side was on at well over 600 ft/lbs(i had to go from a 600ft/lb wrench to the 1200), and the manual says 180 something?!?
BTW, counterclockwise.
