One of the threads on my hub is stripped and needs tapped or sleeved. So instead of rolling around with 3 lugs on my wheel instead of 4 I decided to fix it myself.
After battling the rear disk brake caliper so that I wouldn't have to disconnect the Brake fluid in order to remove the disk, all I have left is this castellated nut to remove. I have never had such a hard time removing a nut before. That thing will not budge!! I used an air impact, the entire weight of my body jumping on a rachet (which takes a lot of gymnastics to balace that manuvor), and a 3 foot steal pipe. Nothing works and I bent a tire iron in the process. Anybody got some suggestions? Am I doing something wrong? I am so close but yet so far!! |
