I'm attempting to pull my damn'd rotor off to get to my damaged boot but i cannot for the life of me get that nut out from the center of the rotor. any tips on getting that beast out? ive already broken a breaker bar and my other huge breaker bar isnt working either.

get a good quality breaker bar and a nice size pipe leverage is the key

 

yeah i also used a really thick good quality breaker bar and a 4ft ish pipe...pipe bent to, it feels if i do it much harder something w ill break. it doesnt have to be turned in some crazy way does it?

ive used air tools....should the rotor be moving while i am doing this?

 

your trying to get the axle out right? i don't remove the rotor some people do... so a air gun didn't work...you can go to drastic measures and take a air hammer with a chisel and try to spin it off... but i don't think your using good **** and i feel like i'm wasting time

 

well how do u get it out withour removing the rotor..i can get pics of my **** if u would like.

 

an easy way my friends do it is leave the wheels on and the car on the ground. remove any center caps from the wheels and go at it with a big breaker bar and jack handle. no axle nut has managed to stay on with this method.

 

thx alot man i tried this first attempt it broke right loose &lt;33333333

 

the sweet taste of success... gotta love it, lol
