Knock

sweet, i will order it, very cheap just hope its good enough quality!
-
yeah that defo looks like the one i replaced on my old mx3. good find btw, i will be getting one of these for my new one ;)
-
ok chaps, the saga continues.
so, I cant get the damned hub nut loose!!!!
I need your advice. I have tried a little heat but i dont have a proper blow torch. I have so far broken one head on my 22" breaker bar, and also bent the same breaker bar, I have also tried this using a 4ft steel pole, which is very heavy.
so now, im stuck!
so I started looking at electric impact wrenches, will one of these do the trick??
-
i used an air impact on mine so i guess an electric one would do the trick as long as it has enough juice
-
ohhhh FFFS!!!!!!
cant undo the damn nut. tried everything I can ,minus impact wrench, now I am concerned even that wont budge it. I have SAT on the damn extension bar, and ALL I can achieve, is bending my breaker bar!!!
I cant decide if I should invest in a Clarke Impact Wrench and socket, or a blowtorch and dremel….?? help!!!
-
I have seen my dad use his huge breaker bar, a 3m scaffold tube stood on it bouncing up and down to break it
-
well, my breaker bar is fairly hefty, and i have a very hefty 4 ft pole, but i am not exactly a big lad!!
im going to have to get an impact wrench and see if that helps, oh, and a blow torch…
-
sod it, just ordered an Electric Impact Wrench….....
-
chaps.
got mi Impact Wrench, first try was a no go, but I kinda expected that :/
anyhooo, have sprayed penetrating oil on, and im going to buy a new 3/4" breaker bar, but, i need to double check, which way is the thread for the passenger front hub??
-
as far as i am aware it is a standard thread mate but will have to double check with someone on here
-
just thought, although I have chiselled out the wedge but is there anythign else to remove first? There doesnt look to be, but im worried I am trying to undo the nutt he wrong way or i have missed a circlip or something??
-
will be a standard thread im sure, lefty loosie righty tighty.
Can you not take it to a local friendly garage and get them to uncrack it for you?
-
they are standard thread, its probably just welded itself on from corrosion and heat

-
I take it you have tried a big long scaffold bar to get some leverage?

yup….broke my 1/2" breaker bar, bent the bar too......!
-
holy shit that is tight lol
-
bought 3/4" breaker bar and appropriate impact socket, took all of 20 seconds and I hardly had to try, very chuffed….
now i just got to work out how to swap the CV joint!
-
ok, spent a while studying and figured out how to swap my CV. what I did find, is that the old one was MISSING the circlip, which I believe explains the knocking noise and drive shaft movement, because now, its solid. I am also missing one of the two bolts holding the ball joint to the wishbone, so I need to replace that before putting everything back together and torquing up!!
-
you may find that the circlip came off with the joint itself. glad you managed to get it off though bud, congrats :)
