[GlennsEK]

yeah the nut and I have soaked it with WD40.

[SPOOLIN]

Ur gonna have to take a torch and heat it up... This shit happens to the best if us lol. Or find a 1000+ ft lbs impact wrench... We've got one of those laying around for the rare special occasions.

I have used my 18v impact and and attached to an air compressor, I just i'll have to heat it up

[Tech5]

get a good compressor you need atleast 150 psi and a STRONG Impact I have a 800ftlbs Snap on and it takes them off with ease!!!!


I have NEVER had to heat one if you have enough air pressure and a STRONG impact they will come out with ease.

[GlennsEK]

Okay, thanks

[Crazydelsol]

Just go back and foward with the impact gun and it will help u get the thing out

[GlennsEK]

You mean like forward and reverse with the impact?

[Tech5]

yes but if your impact is weak it will not help you

[GlennsEK]

It more then likely is , I have rybo 18 v impact and not sure the specs but two air powered ones.

[Tech5]

18v will not work

[Scotsman]

you need a 8' sissy bar and a 2' breakerbar , and some fat ass to bounce on it , works every damn time

[Scotsman]

two worlds worst bolts to break free...............axle nut and ......................crank pulley , especially if you are talkin 2nd gen to 4th gen

[Tech5]

lol yea I would agree if you are trying to use a sissy bar bahahahahhahaa


GROWN ass men uses Snap on tools !!!

Little boys use that fat next door neighbor to help hahahahha

[Crazydelsol]

That's right but do it while the tire is still on and the car is on the floor not on stands

[Scotsman]

lol yea I would agree if you are trying to use a sissy bar bahahahahhahaa


GROWN ass men uses Snap on tools !!!

Little boys use that fat next door neighbor to help hahahahhalmao , hey i do what i gotta do , remember i am from across the pond

[GlennsEK]

Lol you guys , I need to find a fat ass!

[Crazydelsol]

Just make sure you have a candy bar for him after the work is done lol

[Scotsman]

Lol you guys , I need to find a fat ass!no need for a fat ass , all aboot leverage , longer the sissy bar , the more tq

[GlennsEK]

I have tried a breaker bar, and stand on or but the socket would keep popping off. And I'm scared if I keep trying ill Fuck the nut up .

[GlennsEK]

I tried jumping on it soaked with wd-40, will not move I actually made the car roll back with the e brake on when i was using a breaker bar, any other idea guys? is there a way to "cut the nut off" or anything?

[Tech5]

THERE IS NO WAY DOING THIS WITH A BREAKER BAR!!!!


150psi or better and atleast 800 FT LBS impact !!!!!!

Make sure that you're using a 32mm socket !!

[JBrakeS2K]

have you tried tightening it a little bit, then loosening it? usually works a lot for me. maybe even tap it with hammer it a few times to unseize it. some crud may have gotten in between the threads and the nut itself.

[Scotsman]

Make sure that you're using a 32mm socket !!are you f'n daft , i have done this several times , one guy on the bar , one guy with his foot on the socket holdin it on

[h22 jones]

Its not the easiest but before i had my shop i did it the ole fashin way also. Key is a long piece of pipe or jack handle . As much leverage as you can get . yes jumping on it helps but levrage helps more . make sure some one is holding the socket on the nut or your wasting your time . if you can get a jack stand or block the same hight to sit the ratchet on it helps a tone also . Let it soak over night also . Wd40 will help once its loose but not going to help right away let it soak.

[Tech5]

are you f'n daft , i have done this several times , one guy on the bar , one guy with his foot on the socket holdin it on


ARE TALKING TO ME!!!!!!


I never said you can't do it this way , I am saying with his being this hard to get off a strong impact with a lot of air pressure is the key !

[Scotsman]

I never said you can't do it this way , I am saying with his being this hard to get off a strong impact with a lot of air pressure is the key !lol , fair enough , i'm just speaking from 88-95 honda exp , sissy bar has always worked more than my impact has

[Tech5]

lol , fair enough , i'm just speaking from 88-95 honda exp , sissy bar has always worked more than my impact has


Most of the time it will , no doubt. But when they get this bad , or worse (someone cross threaded it )...It will take more ass ,.

[silversol]

I have used a breaker bar and the 5 foot leg from my engine hoist as a cheater pipe when nothing else would work.

I have used a breaker bar and the 5 foot leg from my engine hoist as a cheater pipe when nothing else would work.cheater pipe , sissy bar , same thing ,lol , i used an 10' chain link fence post once

[98blackcivic]

been in both situations...i guess we're little boys if u wanna listen to one guy

1st..me and my buddy against crank pulley 180 psi with a heavy duty impact and even used the the crank pulley tool...never budged :(

2nd..i was chain smoking watching this guy trying to change my friends axle....and they couldnt break the nut loose..so we took it to the best mech i know around..and he loosened that nut in 1.2 seconds with his heavy duty 32mm
that socket looked SOLID

little girls!

[Scotsman]

little girls!big girl :taun:

[blown_ss]

i use my jack handle on my breaker bar, it comes off with ease.

[StarBwoy]

mines was hard use a breaker bar and didnt work so i use a air gun and it came out fast

[civicturbo10]

some can be tuff. the toughest i came across was a 2jz on an engine stand. we had "darth" ( 1" air wrench with gobs of power and exhausts air constanly like darth vader) and it could not bust the crank bolt after repeated 10 - 20 sec bursts. didn't want to break the bolt so decided short bursts was the way to go. After about 10 - 20 attempts in short bursts "darth" was defeated. The only bolt i ever heard it could not back out. I wouldn't believe if i didn't see it myself. Darth prob cranks out 1200+lbs max. Apparently the tech before had over tightened severly and clearly did not know how to properly torque down, lol.

So to remove we came up with a massive lever to gain as much torque as humanly possible. Massive snap on breaker bar with a 12ft (it was very long) hollow bar extending the breaker bar's leveraging power. So after about 30 min the bolt was removed w/o issue but with lots of man handling. Needless to say the vehicle does not have any problems with the crank bolt and is still driven to this day.

PM me maybe i can assist with my air compressor.
