Default How do i stop my axles from spinning?

How do i do that so i can remove the axle nut? I got a motor that came with the sub frame, and there is no way i can take the nut off. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

put the car on the ground and in reverse, have a partner press on the brakes. Or the easiest way is Hit it with a Impact

in the rotor itself.....there are slots....not on the face....but on like the top.....if you stick a thick flat head screw driver in there....until it hits the caliper....and then put pressure on nut....it will come off everytime..

Just hold the brakes.. Normally if i'm using a breaker bar then I just leave the car on the ground to snap the spindle nuts loose.. If you got one an impact gun is really easy.. Have fun

Thanks, but the engine is not in a car, just bolted to the subframe.

Impact!

Check the nut and see if the corner is bent into the groove on the spindle. If so, take a screwdriver and tap it out. It makes it come off a lot easier.

Impact!
