How do I get the big *** gold-colored nut off? Do I just cut the top part that is bent in to lock it off?
Or is there an easier way? I tried prying but no dice. That is no ordinary tin strength, it is super strength!
Thanks guys.

 

have you tried using a 32mm socket + breakerbar?

wait, are you refering to the axle/rotor nut?

 

There's alot of ways to get the axle nut off. Most require a breaker bar and a long pipe for leverage. Good luck with that.

What I highly, highly recommend is that you drive your car to any mechanic, tire shop, or jiffy lube and kindly ask a guy to use his air gun to spin the nut off. Then, crank down the axle nut with your 32mm hand wrench. Give the guy $10 for his troubles. Now you can safely drive home and take off the axle nut with hand tools.

 

OP just get a large 31-32mm socket, breakerbar+ pipe to extend the leverage of the breaker and put your weight into it with the tire mounted and weight on the ground to keep from turning. Otherwise yeah hit it with an impact gun.

 

o yeah good luck! this took me like a week to do and i tried everything! i drove on the breaker bar and it broke, i used a 2 foot pipe extension on my new breaker bar and it broke, pb blaster and new breaker bar and pipe and it BROKE! so finally after clearing the parts place of their breaker bars(fortunately under warranty), i drilled two holes in the old axle nuts and with some brute force they finally gave! and now ive been changing my stupid cheap axles with no luck lol....

 

This is probably the best way to go if you can't get it off. I always just slide my floor jack handle over a 1/2 drive ratchet and step into it, worked everytime so far.

 

Oh and for the part of the nut that's bent in, you can just take a flathead and tap it out with a hammer. With a good impact gun this is usually unnecessary.

 

I already tried the screwdriver on the bent in part, and that thing is on there good. I'll just try a breaker bar.
I should just get a new nut too right? So I can bend that thing back in to lock it?

 

It's probably recommended that you replace it. I've never bothered, I just pound it in again as good as i can.

 

Try a punch and hammer to bend it back, then a 32mm sock it on an impact gun, works for me...1/2 drive on a breaker bar with some leverage.

 

32mm on a 1/2 drive ratchet with the jack handle on it. use a punch and a hammer to get the bend out. or a small flat head and hammer careful not to break the screw driver

 

Anyone know the part number for it? Or if it is called something other than the wheel bearing? I looked in the parts catalogue for acura and I can't find it...
