Trying to tear down my rear brakes and suspension to start a rebuild but I have hit a stone wall with the hub nuts on both sides. Are these things torqued with a 3ft cheater bar or something? I have already tried penetrating oil and heat cycles. The threads are not rusty nor are the nuts. Nothing is rounded off..... yet. Is there a secret here or what?

OK, It runs now, and pretty good too! Group: Members Posts: 1,445 Joined: 3-January 03 From: Santa Clarita, Ca Member No.: 85 Region Association: None |
The nut is torqued to 250 lbs. - So yes a 3 ft. bar would help.
I took a 4 ft. piece of angle iron and drilled two holes on each end, for 4 lug and for 5 lug. Then I bolt this to the hub, and use a breaker bar with and 2 ft. pipe on the end. Comes right off. Good Luck, |
