Need help with spindle nut

[BoostLover]

Ok, I'm still trying to get to my tranny to change my clutch. I finally got the ball joint issue solved. Now I've got another issue. I'm trying to get the spindle nut off. The driver's side came off fine, but the passenger side is messed up. Someone before me punched the locking part of the spindle nut in too far. And now I can't get it out. I've tryed a punch set, screwdriver and such but part of the metal is messed up and so I can't get anything wedged in there to pry it apart. Any suggestions?????

take a impact to it ...an break it off inside, once you get the nut off then you will be able to notch it out very easy then just buy you another pin later

Bad part is that I don't have an impact. Don't know if it makes a difference, this is on an Integra

get a good breaker bar and a really really long sissy bar to go over it , have someone hold the brakes real hard and put some serious a$$ into the breaker bar

yep, what he said ^^^, gonna be a ***** if you don't have power tools. i've always been able to pry the bent part ot with something, a chisel, small screwdriver, anything with a thin flat end.

Thanks guys. Tried holding the brakes down and using a torque wrench and breaker bar. but the nut is stripping now

[Tech5]

if the nut is stripping then your using the wrong socket its a 32mm

impact is the best way to go

I'm using a 32mm socket.
