thank you very much

 

32mm or 1 1/4 in

 

while your out buying tools get an air compressor and a nice impact for that SOB
otherwise be ready for multiple trips the to the store for wd40 & replacing broken breaker bars

 

32mm. and just use your braker bar and put your jack handle over the braker bar

 

Yeah, but you might want to skip putting your jack handle over the breaker bar...when I did mine, I couldn't get it. So a friend of mine helped. He stood on the bar (leaning against the car) and it didn't budge...then he sort of jumped on it (the bar) and it actually bent and the nut didn't budge....good luck doing by hand

for air tools. That's the only way it came off.

 

a beefy 32mm socket is good for tapping in a few of the seals on the car too.

 

I'll echo that. However, my cousin and I were able to do it with ratchet, a freakin long pipe, and lots of PB Blaster. Probably took a good 30 minutes of pulling, pushing, kicking, and standing on the bar, but we got it.

An air compressor and airtools should have been my first purchase after I bought the car...if only I knew then...

 

haha...maybe I shouldn't say this but this was about 4-5 years ago so it's old newz...the very first time I replaced an axle (I've had this car for a while and I did my first axle replacement on it!) I didn't realize that you had to fiddle with that little ring and take a small piece of wood and pound the crap out of it to get it back in. I thought it was in, put everything back together, backed out of my driveway, put it in first, started to roll forward and heard this plop drrrrrrrrrrr clink clink. hehe. whoops! pushed it back into the garage, good thing she doesn't weight very much. lol.
