Does anyone know a trick i can use to get the axle nut off??? I have broken 2 Ratchets and a breaker bar. Don't have access to air tools.

I have a bad bearing on a car i recently purchased and i bought GSR suspension to swp into it. Drivers side gave me no problem but the side with the bad bearing WILL NOT break loose. Like i said, broken too many tools to keep messing with it tonight. Anyone have a trick????

 

you can use a cheater bar. take a 2-3ft section of metal pipe and put it over your 1/2" breaker bar. that should give you all the leverage you need. break the nut with the car on the ground or a buddy on the brakes, either or

btw, if you broke a 1/2" breaker bar it's a POS, buy at least craftsman or better tools for petes sake

 

heat. use a torch. sometimes they are a bitch but dont give up on it.

 

ive broke a craftsman before. also too once u lay some heat on it put the wheel back on with the center cap out and turn the car on and have someone hold the brakes while you torque on it. and like said above...using a cheater bar will be your best friend as well as the heat.

 

idrivesideways...sorry for restating basically what you said. i saw the line pos and craftsman so my eyes went to that. lol.

 

lol craftsman plus, as in do not go lower. you know i have one of those polished snap on 1/2" bars now and i have HAMMERED that thing and it will not break.

it's this exact model

It was a craftsman 1/2" with a big a$s jack handle extension for a cheater...goin to get a new one in the AM. Lifetime warranties are cool

Buddy came by with a serious wrench. Freakin monster. I was standing on the brakes. Broke his extension too LOL. Finally got it tho.

Thanks for the responses guys!!!! I got a cool *** manual impact wrench from the 70's out of the ordeal. My neighbor just told me to have it since he never used it anyways. Anyone ever heard of Swench?
