If so, which one or both? I can't see the threads, so if anyone knows I appreciate the help in advance.

 

The only nuts that i know of thats reverse thread is on the power steering pully and i think alternator pully as well.

Everything else is normal lefty loosy, righty tighty

 

Yep, they're both normal threads.

 

I guess I just need to eat some spinach before attempting them again

unless you got some sort of weird honda then those are not reverse threaded either.


and it takes a lot of power to get the axle nuts off, i usually use an impact gun tht is capable of 450lb/ft though at times I have had to go with a bigger gun as well.

I was jumpin on a 2-3ft. breaker bar and I'm about 155, so apparently &gt;350lb/ft doesnt cut it... this is sooooo frustrating.

 

somestimes that much wotn cut it, i have had ot use a 6 foot piece of pipea nd several breaker bars....cause they kept breaking on me.

get someone to keep the brakes on, get a breaker bar with a 3 ft peice of pipe on it (harder pipe the better, i always broke my pipe) and get a hammer and crack on it hard and quick if you cant do it with your weight. cut the wheels away from the car too

 

as for reverse threaded, i think you will find that on older toyotas or even old old hondas (so ive heard, not sure about hondas) - quite a few of the older domestic cars are reverse, most cars now are the right thread now.

 

I'll just have my mom step on the brake, then have my cousin (who's car this is) AND me stand on the 5 ft pole that we just bought. maybe 1500lb/ft will do the trick... But then again at that point his brakes prolly won't hold.

 

weird thing is that the other side was only like 275lb/ft or so

 

thanks everyone...we got that little ****** off with about 750 lb/ft.

And the Final drive bolts.

 

I just broke two Breaker Bars and haven't gotten mine loose, yet... I don't think Spinach is gonna Cut It 😅

 

Heat, penetrating oil, and vibration will do it. Repeat until free. MAP gas or propane will work, acetylene if you got it. Impact gun.

 

Seriously, just get one of these and be done with it. Works great for pressing out lower balljoints too...
