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 |

I also found that a metal pipe that's fitted over my breaker bar (Craftsman of course) lets me remove the nut. I used a 4 foot piece of pipe, and if you break the breaker bar, you can always return it for a new one.
Remember, torque is force x distance in this case, so a 100 lb. weight 4 feet from the pivot will be 400 ft lbs, so you should be able to get it to come off with enough PB Blaster (or my favorite, Kroil), heat, and bouncing on the bar! |
