Trying to get the axle nut off the drivers side was even worse! I was lifting the car off the ground with 8' of leverage and the little b*#& would not move. That must have been close to 1000# of pressure to lift the car. it even snapped the bolt that was in the middle of my jack handle... I am worn out but I guess the next manuver will be to have a couple friends over to sit in the trunk while I go for it... I soaked it 5x throughout the week with liquid wrench... thats one tough nut!
If that doesnt do it I guess I will just cut it off. Since I dont need the axle stubs that actually might be easier. I have taken axles out of many 911's and never had anything close to this amount of grief. |

Thanks for the suggestions .... I think I will try to heat it up. I did try smacking the socket with a 5# sledge both to try to turn it and to try to just break the tension.
I believe these have never been off the car as it has been sitting since '92. There is some corrosion on there but not a tremendous amount. I was really freaking out when I saw the care come off the stand but then I kind of went with it and tried to give it a bounce.... After about 20 or 30 minutes of that I was warn out |
