dud did you pay for the shaft yet? i got one left over from my swap its from an 04 i know its the same size and all and am pretty sure the abs ring is the same come to kailua to pick it up and its yours

 

i'll take it i need it for my wagon that has a bad axle also

 

what the torque on the impact?

 

there went another breaker bar!!!!

 

i have a feeling that when the shop did my wheel bearing the cross threaded the nut and thats why it is breaking my breaker bars!!

damn pfluger!!!

 

What kind of breaker bar are you using? I can't imagine that you are actually breaking them.

I have a Craftsman/IR (600 ft-lbs) impact if you want to try it. I'm in Mililani too. But your breaker bar should be putting out way more torque than most impact wrenches though.

 

hahahaha there junk but still it shouldn't break like butter

 

from bottom up







these are back wards but still i lost!

 

wow that nut is getting shredded...looks like there's a notch or something that you have to bend out...anyway LMK if you need the impact gun, I also have a Snap On breaker bar, if it bends or breaks the Snap on guy replaces it for free..GL

 

I wonder if a dremel cutting disk can get in there?

 

yeh i bent it all out........and if i ned to dremel i will take off the rotor and brakes to get a better cutting angle

 

it looks like you're using a 12-point socket. try switching to a 6-point. also pickup a craftsman, or snap on breaker bar... if you break it, they'll replace it.

 

yup doing that too tho both of the other bars will be replaced for free too

 

WD 40 doesn't work for loosening nuts.

Use PB Blaster or Hydrogen Peroxide.

6-point socket FTW...I have no idea why you're using a 12 for that...those small teeth will round off the nut like you're already doing. Use the Craftsman 6 point with the curved wall and like Ty said get a Craftsman 1/2 or 3/4 inch breaker bar. Lesson of the day...don't use 12 point for anything that is on tight or needs to be tight.

You could also try splooge...splooge seems to help a lot of things.

 

i used pb blaster last night no luck....... left it on all night now....... and i i have always ued the 12pt for the last 3 axles i have done i just feel this one is cross threaded thats the only thing that makes since... i'm headed out to pick up a 2ft breaher bar and a new 6pt socket...
