    rotors and the hub nut.

    for all that is holy i cannot get that freaking nut loose. i just broke one wrench luckly it's a MAC tool so i can have it swapped out if i can catch one of the drivers.

    the phrase "righty tighty and lefty loosey" applies to this nut also right? i mean theres no reason to why it would be reverse threaded is there?

    normal thread. unstake the edge of the nut first! do it with the tire on, car on the ground, with somebody standing on the brake pedal. breaker bar w/ large socket, with a metal pipe extension, and then jump on it and give it all your strength. breaker bars often snap on it, so use a mac/craftsman one. itll come off eventually.

      Use an impact wrench. If you don't have one, then break out the PB Blaster, a good 36mm socket, a breaker bar and a cheater pipe.

        yeah that's what i was doing, standing on it then it snapped on me and i fell off.

        well i have a stronger buddy coming over to help and then i'll just buy him dinner/lunch whatever as payment because he's on of those starving artist type guys who's very handy.

        thanks mike.

          I replaced my rotors last weekend, and had quite a similar experience. I weigh about 260 lbs, and it took all of that to break the passenger's side loose.

          Before breaking the nut, I had to peel away as much of the staking material as possible; that eliminated almost a quarter of an inch of threads. Next, I asked my girlfriend to stand on the brake pedal. Finally, I stood on a 15" breaker bar, pulled myself down with hands in under the wheel skirt, and hopped a few times. Needless to say, I would have rather had an impact wrench!

              It's a bitch. I broke my breaker bar. Impact wrench works wonders. Leave the stock wheel as you can get to the nut with it on.

              ...adjust accordingly

                make sure it isn't still pushed down so you can't undo it.
                but yes just get a long breaker bar and jump on the bitch.
                uh... if by overboosted you mean "right the fuck on" then, sure, it is.
