Yup, just get a long pipe and a breaker bar, show the nut whos boss

 

make sure its 3/4" drive.

Remember to unstake it first

A breaker bar with a cheater pipe will work. Just make sure you put another pipe in between two lug studs so it doesn't spin. Also, before you put a new captured nut on, put some anti-seize on the threads of the axle, so you won't have such a tough time getting it off again.

Everytime you remove the axle nut, you're SUPPOSED to replace it with a new one.

i used wheel bearing grease instead of anti-seize. The axle nut is torqued to 134 ft.lbs. My axle nut comes off easily with a 1/2" drive 18" breaker bar.

 

i broke a breaker bar trying to remove one I was jumping on the damn thing for a good
thing the breaker bar was from sears.

to antiseize

 

I had to take a torch to mine. I almost burnt the bearing. I broke two crafstman 2/4" drive 32mm with a lsudge and standing on it. I broke them and took them back...gotta love sears.....I took some acetelyne and some o2 and had to brun the ******* off. good luck.

 

i tried mine by hand, 2 sockets and couple rachets later, i just took the whole spindle into work , 1 lil zip from my air gun at work and it came off...

Moral of story:

Use Air gun if it doesn't come off by hand

 

make sure to use a punch to open it up and then go with a 1/2' inch breaker bar and 32 mm socket. best if done while its on the gound so that the axels do not rotate
