I am doing a break up grade to my 93 civic hatch and i cant get the axle lugs off. i have already broken one breaker bar and had to replace it and i have put like a half a can of wd40 and liquid wrench on them. dose anyone have an idea?

 

go to the suspention forum they probably can help you over there

 

did you straighten the crimp out from the notch? if so turn the wheel all the way to one side and smack it with a hammer a few times, if its siezed that should help crack it...pb blaster is much better than wd40, even liquid wrench, they penetrate better than just lubricant.

 

thanx

 

Use PB Blaster. A good [ patient ] technique is to spray an *** load of PB on it. Let it sit, tap it a few times. Soak it again and let it sit overnight. Maybe even 2-3 days. I have done this before and the stuff just falls off. [ figure of speach ]. Have to be patient for this to work though.

good luck.

 

Brake upgrade which I am assuming includes the rotors as well?

I'm going to message you.

 

on my 91 si i broke 2 breaker bars, used a can of wd basically, hammer and chisel, a blow torch, drilled it, used an electric impact, and finally an air impact. i just sat there and let it pound away, going fwd and rev on it, and it eventually let loose. not fun, but when it finally came off i felt like the champ. i think i might still have that nut around, if i do i should post pics for u guys to see what it looked liike when i was done

 

an impact wrench would work quite nicely, but i dont think you have access to one, in which case a breaker bar and a long *** pipe could be your friend.

thats exactly what i did, and the square head on the bar that goes into the socket shattered.....2 times

depends on the nut...the one on my 96 came off easily with like a 4 ft pole, but the 91 wasnt going anywhere, and the car already had a swap in it

 

Yeah air power is cetainly the way to go. As mentioned make sure the nut isn't still punched into that notch. **** man doin a tranny on my old EG we broke 14 tools, only 1 wasn't on the axel nuts. After a while we shot out the gears on 2 old rachets because we knew we could, new tools are nice. It sucked cause the only one who owned a car there was me and it was on blocks. So bummin rides to replace needed tools really sucked. But if you don't have a compressor I would suggest a craftsman or snap-on I-beam handle (sometimes referred to as flex) with an impact tip. Those ******* still break, but not as easily. Don't you just feel like such a manly man when you break solid steel! **** YEAh!!! LOL.
