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. |

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I always break these loose with the all 4 wheels on the ground (if possible). My steps are: 1) jack up car and remove tire 2) remove pin 3) put tire back on and lower car 4a) use socket and LOOONNNGGGGG bar and put my fat butt on it. (old way) 4b) I now use a craftsman 1/2 drive impact. (new way) if it doesn't come loose then a shot or two of PB blaster let sit for a while, usually 1 hour then come back apply heat (small torch) for about 3 minutes and hit again with the impact. The real fun is once the nut is off hopefully it is not rusted fast in the hub. Lots of heat and a BIG (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
