Hows it goin? I've tried for two days to get my passenger side axle spindle nut off my truck to replace my ABS hub assembly. I've broke 2 - 1/2 inch drive ratchets and a 3/4 inch drive breaking bar! I've doused it in WD 40 and motor oil, even tried heating it with MAPP gas... nothing. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Ive Always used a 1/2'' air impact and have always got them off. If you have access to a impact i would maybe try that. Just a thought.

 

Put some heat to it, get it pretty warm, then give it a few squirts of PB Blaster while it's still hot. You may have to do that more than once. It'll come off. When I did my '97, I did the above, and it still took a 3/4" drive breaker plus a 3' piece of pipe. HTH

 

I've had to stand on a 6 foot breaker bar to get mine off in the past.

 

A good 1/2" impact will more than likely do the trick.

 

I had the same problem and took my craftsman breaker bar for an exchange after it bent, i took it about a mile down the road to a auto shop, paid the guy $5 to loosen the nut with air, and then i tightened it back with a breaker bar...problem solved.

Drivers side only needed the breaker bar.

 

mine came off easy with the 1/2" impact. no lube juice
