Can't get Axle Nut off !!!

[XcluziveAZN]

My project just failed.....Can't get the damn axle nut off

my Dewalt Impact Wrench can't take that shit off.....It got so many good review and I was thinking it can take that shit off.

Failed I guess i have to put everything back and get Breaker bar + Pipe or buy air compressor + impact gun ($300+) ><!!

I hate fixing car now...every project i take on...it always the damn bolt

I really don't know man. I just replaced both of my axles not too long ago and used my granfather's outdated impact wrench and compressor and it came off. If nothing else I would do what you were talking about with a 1" ratchet and pipe on it if ytou have to. I had to go and pay like 20 something dollars for that damn impact socket alone that fits it. You could try spraying some wd 40 or thread breaker or whatever to maybe free it up some. It's a PITA sometimes but just keep trying i'm sure you'll get it. Good luck.

dude, go to an old junk yard, and buy a pipe that is on the inside of an old ass camaro's door panel

the pipe we used for all my stuff at a friends house was out of one. iwas cut in half, so about 2 1/2 ft long, and must have been 1/4 in thick cast iron judging by the weight. get the whole thing.

the you have a 4 ft breaker bar for anything. just don't break the tools...

I sprayed with PB Blaster overnight and nothing.


I just found out my axle boot ripped wide open.....FUCK THIS CAR......

time to return parts and shit

[Flatline]

i wouldn't give up so quickly. just remember, it's not like another car won't give you problems like this.

is there a place that will rent out COmpressor and Impact gun...maybe that will do it

With the rim/wheel still on and still sitting on the ground, put your socket with breaker bar on the nut. Put the handle end of the breaker bar on a floor jack and jack it up. It will work, guaranteed.

get a good ratchet and a big breaker bar and pull really hard. it will come off sooner or later. good luck

that is a good idea, or do what i do. Id get a 4-5 foot pole(I use the one off my hydrolic jack). shove the breaker bar arm into the pole and either raise up the pole or stand on the pole ..depending on what side ur working on i guess, i preferr standing on the bar(downward).. while a friend holds the socket in place. this all needs to be done with ur wheels still on and on the floor(not on a jack)

WTF Driver side nut came off no problem...but Passenger is a bitch!!
