With the trans in gear the nut turns with the halfshaft. Whats the deal? Also my Helms says to use a 32mm socket. Thats WAY too big. What size do I use?

 

put your tire on and with car on the ground break it loose. it should be a 32 mm, if not than the wrong nut is on there.

 

depending on which side of the axle nut you're removing..stick a thick flat head screw driver in the disc rotor vent so that when the rotor rotate it will hit the caliper and block it from moving. and use the axle nut socket and a torque bar to loosen it...since you say that the 32mm is too big for it..it might be a 28.. or actually a 30mm..i have sen differenc size being used.

 

32 is the right size you might have the wrong nut on there, put the tire on put the car on the ground and make sure to pop out the divit on the nut before romoving also you will need a pretty big breaker bar

 

I used an inch and an 1"1/4 socket on mine with the wheel/tire on and the car on the ground, and a 4' cheater bar. Came off FAIRLY easy

 

Also make sure you bend out the little tab

 

If you have to heat it up! Get the damn this glowing red and then try undoing it. I had to heat mine up and then use an electric impact gun with 1-1/4 socket. Yeah, do what everyone has said, make sure that tab is bent out!

 

One of mine was a 1 1/4" and the other one was 32mm...i guess a shop had put a different one on when they had changed it at one point. I used a crowbar stuck between two of the wheel studs, propped against the ground, and then a breaker bar for one side. The other one came off with an impact gun.
