axle nut removal?

[Turbo Dave]

i need to remove the axle nut on my cb7 so i can pull the cv joint out of the transmission so i can take the engine out. i did a search but it yeilded a broken link. i have the 36 mm socket and its not budging i cant remember what the trick was to get it out

[k-mart]

spray some PB blaster on there and get a HUGE breaker bar

im leaving for autozone right now to get a breaker bar

just got back from returning the BROKEN BREAKER BAR i SNAPPED! lol any more ideas? i just broke a 30 dollar breaker bar with lifetime warranty

there are no tricks to it...just keep at it until you break that nut loose...try getting a longer pipe to slide over the breaker bar for more leverage

[phatdoughnut]

stick a screw driver you dont like in one of the vent slots on the skinny side of the rotor, and have it pry upagainst the caliper and go at it! use the braker bar, and then slide a tube over it, like your jack handle tube or something..

are u guys kidding lmao
lol use the socket arm... u need a big one since u are using a 36mm socket...
get a long as pipe..... and u done....
make sure u open that the axle nut lip is straigh and not bent on that axle whole..<<<<don't know if u understood what i mean.

i just simply use my impact gun..

If it's really bad like mine was (impact didn't work and I snapped 2 higher end breaker bars), try a 3/4 drive breaker bar. Those can take a beating. A long pipe for leaverage like mentioned above will also help alot.

i broke 2 bars from my other axle nut and i eventually just went to a wheel shop where they blasted it off for free.

I hope you guys remembered to unstake the axle nut before you tried to remove it.

haha amen... the Nitro Cat gets the trick done...

The long ass pipe is what saved me when I had to do this. Mine was about 7-8 feet long. Just slid it over the breaker bar and pushed down with about 3/4 strength. Came right off. Make sure to WD40 it to death before hand though. It can't hurt and only assists in removing that damned nut.

It would be a good time for you to replace the axle nuts too. They go for like 3 dollars each.

well mine wouldnt come off no matter what so what i did was i unstaked it like it was supposed to be unstaked. Then i took a dremel grinded a nice lil groove and stuck a stake in between it at an angle and used a sledgehammer in the direction to get it off works everytime you should try it just dont hit the lugnutbolts or graze the rotor with the screwdriver. It sa two man job and have someone hold the brakes down while you give a wack at it p.s dont feel so bad i broke 5 breaker bars and counting until i hgave up did that and it worked.
