Undoing hub nuts off car!
locoboy - 21/5/06 at 02:46 PM

I need to undo the rear hub nuts on the donor shafts but they are no longer attached to the Sierra!

Is it a case of penetrating oil, impact gun, heat if required, a large vice and socket and a large breaker bar?

Or are there any other ways?

Thanks

took mine to a friend with a 3/4 drive air gun soon came off. Don't forget n/s is left hand thread.

41mm socket on an impact gun is by far the easiest method I have found. Failing that a large bar does the job, or pop to the nearest garage if its easier.

Do mine with a large ( 3/4" ) breaker bar and a tyre lever in / through the studs.

I put mine in the vice and with a 1/2 metre ratchet and not great deal of force they came off without argument.
Iput them back together the same way!
