Driver side axle removal?!!
Whatsup guys, I have a 93 integra rs with gsr motor. I was going to pull the motor but wasn't able to remove the drivers side axle. The passenger side 32mm spindle nut came right out with a 1/2 ratchet and pipe for leverage. The drivers side was getting attacked all day. I had a 3/4inch breaker bar with long pipe and couldnt break it loose. My buddy came by with his heavy duty snap on impact wrench and it wouldnt budge. Tried heating the nut and everything possible. I've snapped a snap on breaker bar today, and it seems there is no way around it. The only thing i could think of is that the drivers side axle could possibly be reverse thread??? If thats the case im sure I tightened it sooo much. If anybody has any tricks or other ideas please let me know I feel like smashing this car right now.
I broke 1 breaker bar, snapped 1 breaker bar, and cracked 1 32MM socket before mine came off. I used a whole entire cat back exhaust on the end of the breaker bar with me hanging on it the thing wouldn't budge. Then my friend grabbed the exhaust and we both pulled it down and it slowly budged. IDK who the hell put them on that tight before but it was insane. I used a whole can of PB blaster and probably half a tank of propane with the torch lol. Now I have air tools and I'll be damned if my IR gun wouldn't have taken it off. Good luck!
wow that's nuts you guys. what were you heating it with? try getting it red hot with an acetylene torch that's all I can think of, or your going to have to torch the whole nut off (basically just melt the whole thing)
