bought impact gun, didnt work. is there anything i can do to the axel nut to help break it loose?

 

-Use a punch to drive the dent that keeps the axle bolt from moving free of the groove.
-Remove the center cap from the tire/wheel
-Put the tire/wheel back on the car with the lug nuts
-Lower tire back to the ground with full weight on it
-Use a breaker bar with a 36" pipe over it (be very careful when applying that much force to axle bolt; eye protection and know where things will go if the socket breaks or slips)

 

thanks man but, already did that shit. I used a heavy duty piece of steel, and nothing. Thanks for the help though.

 

also, is there a chemical agent i can use. I was thinking of soaking it with Wd40 overnight, then taking a torch to that Fcker the next day

 

take a big a$$ chesil to it.. I KNOW THE SP ON THAT IS WRONG! LOL but then hammer it on the top .. to make an indent into the bolt and nut.. then take a big a$$ breaker bar.. and pop that son Bit#$ off!

that is how i did it when i did my first swap!

late

 

lol i did the breaker bar thing and used like a 6 foot bar leverage is your friend

 

axle nuts are a pita...i usually soak it with pb blaster penetrating catalyst for about 10 minutes

my impact gun (275lb ft) doesn't always break them loose so put car on ground get a 200lb plus guy (i fit this description well) with a 1/2 drive breaker bar with at least 2 feet of pipe to give you more leverage

 

well, got that Fker off. I cant take credit for how I did it. I drove around the hood for bought 20 minutes on the brakes hard, I pull up in drive, bust out 32 mil, and the nut came off like nothing. heat from the brakes is what got it off. thanks for the help, time to go to work

 

Wow, thats using your head.

 

I'm lucky in that my impact gun has yet to meet an axle nut it couldn't remove, and it's nothing special.

On occasion, I have to borrow one of my coworker's IR Titanium 500lb-ft 1/2" drive to get out stuck trans bolts, or another's 3/4" drive Snap-On for seriously stuck crank pulley bolts (J-series V6's, specifically.)

A 3/4" drive impact gun will kick the ass of any bolt on a Honda car, too bad they're so expensive.
