Is there a secret to the castellated nut on the back wheel, I'm using a
3 ft breaker bar and all I'm achieving is bending my sidchrome "T" socket handle. Anyone know of a trick to cracking it. Thanks in advance John |

That bolt is torqued to 250 lbs. It can be tough to remove. I used an impact gun to remove mine, but my impact gun would not remove one from my second 914 and i used about a 4' bar and jumped on it. Are you replacing the wheel bearings?
I just torqued mine last night and that was a ton of fun. |
