Hi everybody!
I’m in the progress of rebuilding my rear brakes and are having problems loosing the rear castle nut, which holds the shaft. Not really a surprise since the car was sitting for the last 8 years w/o usage. I have used W40 for several days. No result. I have torched (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (only with a hand/propane torch) the nut several times up to about 650F. Used a torque wrench while the nut is cold and hot. No result - after 5 hours. I’m sure someone else had a similar problem. Any tips advise? Did anyone ever cut the nut of the shaft? How did it work out? Which tool did you use? Will a Dremmel work? Thanks a lot for any advise/tips. Dragan |

Kroil is legal in California, so it's doubtful there's anything harmful in it .................
I use "Gibbs", the best penetrant I've found in 40 years of wrenching.. Available online. The Cap'n |
