yeah purpose only. we'll try standing on it now

 

I wrapped mine in pee-ed on silk

 

i dont get it pee-ed on silk

 

easy, took me 2 or 3 days to figure it out.

get a very strong breaker bar, soak the axle nut in PB blaster for an hour. Make sure the center cap on the rims are off. Get a fence pole. metal one, and attach it to the breaker bar (cheater bar). Now stand on that bitch, make sure the axle isnt staked too.

 

I'm gonna chuckle if his axle nut is still staked.

 

me too i hope it's been unstaked lol, but i also had a problem once to get one off after even unstaking it it was stuck, tried a lot finished but impact with lots of loose nut

 

what do yo mean by staked?

wut do u guys mean by unstaked? im gena have to replace my axles very soon(passenger side boot is ripped in 2 and driver side is tearing), any advice or w/e would be appreciated.

sorry if i thread jacked

 

well your axle has a small slot that you have to bend your axle nut into ..... But what impact gun are you using? my Snapon gun takes them out unstaked or not


I &lt;3 Snap on

 

its just a husky impact gun. i think were gonna resort to cutting off the nut with a torch we don't need the axles anymore. what do you think.

 

husky **** sucks..... it has less torque than your motor...... Go borrow a good quality impact gun and that bitch will come out... I guarantee it

**** where in Ca are you ... Ill bring over my Snap on if you are close enough

 

un-stake the nut

soak with PB blaster

heat it up with a torch

then breaker bar


i have one on my hatch that i broke the 3/4 drive breaker bar with. i heated and PB blaster, and still wouldnt come off.
I ended up cutting the nut off with a grinder and got a new axle, then greased the splines in the hub so it wont happen again.

 

it happened to me when i changed my del sol's cv joint,
listen to me bro take a chisel and a hammer,
by hitting on the side of the nut, but make sure counter clockwise,
give strong hits
just like
hit......hit.....hit
make sure strong hits....
make sure after you open it replace it, dont use it again...

 

i use a 6 foot lead pipe as my breaker bar

 

why would you EVER heat up the nut with heat? doesnt that just make it harder to move the nut, and easier to warp SHITT!? heat expands no?

so, ive tried everything in book, only thing that worked was, get a breaker bar from pepboys, and a 6 foot cheater bar, and a very good 32mm axle socket. Make sure the wheel is still on the car, put it in 1st with ebrake.

I was able to budge the frozen nut with one arm. this was the nut that was frozen for 2 weeks trying with all sort of impacts and stuff....if you cant get it off with a good breaker and 32mm socket, you got problems.

just make sure wheel is still on, just remove center cap

 

OK after torchin it we cut them apart ill take pic of the nuts and post them later

 

I got my axle nut off with a standard 2 ft breaker bar and axle nut socket just by hoping on it with someone stepping on the brakes. New England rust car with 250k miles, original axles original nut.

You are weak

 

mine came out with a 1.5 foot breaker bar and no pb blast..

 

go to a tire place, ask them to loosen it and tighten it back up, they usually dont charge but tip the guy who do it for you.

Every car axle nut is going to be different, those that had come off not too long ago will be easy to take off but let see the one that been on for aout 12 year.

1000 ft lb impact wrench will take anything off

 

heat it up or spray pb blaster on it and let it sit for 10 mins and spray again then give it a shot with the breaker bar

 

like i said they are off we cut them with a torch.
here is a pic of the after math. after they were cut the axles were destroyed too. but i had new ones.

 

i had to do something just like that. i had to ground it off. this was all yesterday. i tried a 48" pipe wrench on a axle nut socket. i had to grind it off with a die grinder. if youre getting a new axle then youll get a new nut with it. scrap that bitch and cut it all up

 

yup thats what i did
