Impact gun wouldnt hurt either, but I'm usually too lazy to get mine out so I just use the breaker bar method....

I just dominated that nut right now! i got that nut off in 20 seconds using a 18 in breaker bar with a 4 foot pipe extension. it was soooooo easy. didnt even use PB or wd-40. it suprised me cause everyone makes such a big deal about it. anyway, yeah!!!!

what do you all use to make that dip in the new axle nut? when i tried getting the dip back up to take off the nut, i used a flat head screw driver and it went tore thru the nut.

ur doing right, just rip it up, tore it apart, out damn dip... they're made to do just that - all remans/new axles come with new nuts. Honda says not to but if you reuse it, just make sure the new dip is in a different place.

I use a big crappy screwdriver. you don't have to beat it flat into the notch, just put that little dip back in it so that the nut won't back off.
