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?

I used a breaker bar, then I used my dads 3ft jack handle, then I topped it all off with a 6ft piece of copper pipe..
Jumping about 4 times with lube seemed to do the trick.. I think its like 330lbs from the factory... Years of rust will increase that number (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) 2ft breaker bar with my foot and weight, jump once to tighten it... Thats how I do it.... Only done it 5 times (2 hubs were off the car. especially difficult) Impact wrench will not get it. |
