ok i have done this 3 times b4 and i have no idea why it is kicking my azz this time (well the others where on a different subie) i have tried everything i know to break this loose. i bent my breaker bar, then i snapped my breaker bar, put a pipe on the end on a braker bar and snapped that breaker bar too. i used air tools (impact gun from my work tho my tankmight not be big enough), spryed wd40, cussed at it, let my 2 yr old give it a shot, hell i even did some voodoo spells on it! and this crap just luaghs at me saying "hahahaha you can't break me you weak dick"

so any tricks on breaking this dumb nut? i mean i'm about to take my dremel and cut the nut in half ( btw i'm getting my new axle on friday from napa)

TIA

 

make sure you're turning the right direction first

depending on the reverse torque settings on the impact gun will determine how much of a hard time you'll have taking them off.

all impact guns aren't created equally you know even though it's from a repair shop. Yes have to make sure you have enough line pressure to use the gun at it's fullest.

This is the one that I have and I have yet to meet somethign that it couldn't take off or break ask Justin he knows

yeh i remember you brought it to take off jasons axle nut or was it the nut on the knuckle?? don't remember but it worked then.... and yeh this is not a reverse thread.... tho i was soo pissed last night i went both ways hahaha with the impact gun (no justin not like that )

jon you mind if i borrow that gun again? i know pfluger did my wheel bearing on that side and i have a BIG feeling that they over torqued it (way more then 137lbs/tq)

 

where are you going to be doing this at? I work weird hours

 

home but time is not my friend right now i will be breaking more breaker bars tonight ( i get off at 6pm) i need to have the core off to give it to napa on friday (i'm off tho)

 

so what are you trying to do now?

 

right now i'm at work.
and i'm replacing my whole passanger side axle.

i will get the new axle tomorrow and have to give them this core in return.

 

oh i see. well i'm at work right now and don't get off until 830pm and i have a lot of prep work to finish on my car by saturday (times not my friend either).

if you can afford it go buy one at sears. it's cheap now

 

have any of you heard of the torch method??? thats what was mentioned on rs25.com

 

haha, that's a great dad for you...let him take a shot!

I love my dad so much for always letting me make a pass with certain things...

 

well you basically heat up the nut you're trying to remove to expand the metal so that you can break it free and remove it. not recommended since might have grease in that area could be fire hazard but you could always try it as a last resort

 

i think its time for this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=95666 hahahha j/p

 

I too suggest heat you could try one of the small hand held propane torch's they get really hot and I have had good luck with them..If not I am sure that Harbor Freight impact wrench will work ..

 

where do you live and what size nut is it? I got some animal impact guns at work? pm me your info and maybe we can meet up to get those nuts off, lol

ahhh...I just saw that the compressor might not work out, anyway your welcome to try them out see if it works...
