I am trying to replace the cv axle on the passanger side of my car. I cant seem to get the spindle nut to come off. When I turn it everything turns but the nut will not break loose. Any help??

 

Put the car back down on it's tires, THEN take it off.
You won't hurt anything.
After you've got it loose, then you can raise it up again to gain access to everything.

still no luck. any other suggestions? this is driving me crazy

 

What are you using to break it loose? A breaker bar and the car on the ground, with wheel and tire on it, should do it.

Did you bend the side of the spindle nut out of the notch in the end of the shaft? It's the spot on the side of the spindle nut that is punched into the notch in the axle shaft. It keeps the nut from spinning off.

 

thanks for the help guys I finally got it

 

Don't feel bad, the axle nuts can be a real pain in the A**
