on my friends accord he is trying to remove his hub in order to replace his wheel studs. but when ever he tries to turn the nut, the big 38mm one in the center, the thing its is connected to spins as well. Please help and tell me why it is spinning and how to stop it spinning. They only have hand tools avaible to them right now. Thanks in advnace.

 

the axles is spinning?? hit the brakes

 

well i'm not there, this is what he was telling me. I am assuming that it is spinning freely inside of the rotor. I hope so at least, because that would be pretty sad if they coudn't figure out,"hmmm... i twist this nut...and this spins...maybe if i held it(via brakes) i could get the nut off." if they can't figure this out i fell bad for them.
