My friend stripped my axle while changing the clutch. (using a metal nose hammer to get my axle out, compressed the threads). i told him not to but... he insisted it wouldn't do ****. now im in a dilema of changing my axle. so since that thread was compressed, the 32mm nut that goes on the tip of the axle was not on. so i drove my car, my only source of transportation. now i have to swap the old one out. the old one will not seem to budge now, im thinking the teeth of the axle mending together with the brake teeth. i've tried everything from a metal nosed hammer, mallot, and some impact chisel. tried prying it and everything. what are my other options?


oh yea i've soaked it with WD40

you will need this to fix the damage thread of the axle which is M22x1.5 mm(thread on axle) http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/KAS-2599.html

For removing the axle from the hub: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.ne....html

I've used both to fix my damage thread and remove the axle with ease

BTW don't let your "friend" touch your car again

Don't drive your car without the axle nut being tighten all the way. It will mess up your wheel bearing. Trust me, been there.
