guys and gals, I bought a dewalt impact wrench(189.99). The FN nut still wont budge. Anybody have any idea's on how to HELP the nut break loose. Maybe a chemical agent or something. thanks.

 

1. soak in pb blaster (better than wd40)
2. small torch, heat for 5 minutes
3. breaker bar with at least 3 foot cheater bar
4. repeat steps 1-3 as needed while cussing and flipping the nut off until it comes loose

what he said, but the torch is optional, Soak in PB blaster usualy does the trick.

 

Man I tried doing my engine swap today and got down to breaking the 32mm's loose and I ended up breaking two half inch drive Crasftman wratchets I jumped on one of them and broke it flush the end of and me and two of my friends tried and now had to delay my swap till my friend lets me borrow his 3/4 inch drive ...

 

Oh yea I also tried usin A torch befor I owned the 1/2 drives...

 

i hate to ask, and please do laugh but, whats pb blaster

 

nevermind what it is, where can i get it. Sorry

 

Oh yea I also tried usin A torch befor I used the owned the 1/2 drives...

 

kragens autozone or whatever autopart store usually...

 

go to sears buy a big *** breaker bar buy a really big socket that fits it mine was a 32 mm socket have someone push the socket against the bolt-

have someone pushing the brake in your car-

and stand on the breaker bar-

jump up and down if you have to it should go-

mine was so hard but it took team work to do it-

(key- have a big friend standing on the breaker bar)

I guess you could use a cheater bar but just buy a really good breaker bar from sears

 

yeah, did the brake deal, but, pb blaster i'll try next. thanks

 

I used A 4-5 foot long steel bar on the endand jumped on it and broke it flush with the socket..

 

PB blaster is the shiznit!! usually the electric impact will get it but If u cant get it loose with a huge cheeter bar and somebody standing on the break pedal, there is always the option of using a dremel and cutting the nut off. I have even scored em and hit them with a chisile had it snap right off. depending on what rims u have, u could put the wheel back on and get more torque on the nut. Just trying to help man, Just hope the axle splines are rusted in the hub like one of my buddies integra's was. took like 3 hours, can of PB, torch, 10lb sledge, big punch, lots of cussing and beer, beer helped worst axle ever

 

thats funny, i was watching the breaker i had start to just bend, pops woulda been pissed so i quit usin it

 

help is much abliged guys, well, off to the bar, i'll be ready to bust that bitch in the morning while i'm enjoying my hangover. Later

Here are a couple of ways, and at the bottom is how I do it and did it today.

 

milwaukee cordless impact wrench, 240lb/ft torque. Comes off everytime, no torch or wd-40 required.

 

Do what I did.

I went to a local Steel mill and got a pipe

2.5" Inner Diameter, 3" Outer diameter.

Sucker is 1/4" thick

It's 4ft long, weighs a good 50lbs, and cost me $47.

Best $50 I EVER spent.

Don't waste your money on sissy bars, I went through 3 crappy ones before I sucked it up and got a real one.

 

well, got that Fker off. I cant take credit for how I did it. I drove around the hood for bought 20 minutes on the brakes hard, I pull up in drive, bust out 32 mil, and the nut came off like nothing. heat from the brakes is what got it off. thanks for the help, time to go to work
