hope this help. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=606866

 

You are using a "32mm" axle socket...aren't u? One trick i learned is to use the floor jack stick and slide it over the breaker bar. Make sure the breaker bar is at least 18" long cause it has more leverage. Have a friend hold the socket in place while you "walk" the bar to loosen it...If the breaker bar breaks (trust me,it has) get another one. This should do the trick!!!

 

Or just get any ratchet with 32mm nut and take like a 19mm wrench and use it to extend the handle of the ratchet. That's what I did when I had to brake the axle nut lose on my shizzle.

 

been there, do the jack handle trick , if you break a few sockets and breaker bars like i did, take a torch to it and get it red hot, then try it, worked for me,, good luck.

you also need to have someone on the brake pedal.. and just make sure you're turning the nut counter-clock wise??? that might help.

 

While the car is on the ground, pop out the center cap. Behind it you should see you axle nut. Put your socket on the nut and give your breaker bar short bursts of enegry until the nut is loose. It works every time

 

thanx guys i think i stripped the axle nutt not sure though..... but i think im gonna have my friend take my *** to home depot and buy a propane torch thingy see if that **** works.... how long do i torch it for? or how does that work?

In fact, any steel pipe that will extend the length of the breaker will work.

Did you try using penetrating oil yet? I use Silikroil made by Kano Industries I beleive.

If you round off the nut, you going to end up cutting it off so be careful, and make sure you're on square before applying pressure.

Torch it til it gets red hot. Don't worry about stripped the nut you get a new one with the new axle anyway. Heat it, and channel lock that biatch.

 

if you did strip it, try a pipe wrench. that might work. good luck
