Im trying to take my rear hub off and im running into a snag, the big nut (1 1/2) that hold the hub on wont break loose I checked my friends big service manuel and cant find anything i cant get a steady hold on it and tried bracing it and ended up bustin a wheel stud w/o even thinkin bout breakin the nut loose. Is it reverse thread? or is there something special I have to or can do to get it to bust loose cuz nothin is workin.....

 

Have you tried any spray to break it lose? (WD 40 or anytihng?)

 

yep, ive been drenchin it in wd40, I woulda thought there'd be some never seeze er something on there but nope...... im nobody has any ideas im gunna have to call a nissan dealer in the am and see if they have any ideas....

 

I know there is a spray that usually works for most people...but I forgot the name of it. Im pretty sure its seized tight. You use a pole or something like that for added leverage?

 

Yea its gotta be pretty seized on there, I have a 14" breaker bar that I was using, stood right on the bar (180 lbs) n it busted the wheel stud after that got a brilliant idea thought maybe take my hydraulic jack and position it with the breaker bar on the basket and jacket it up and see if hydraulic weight would maybe break it free and ended up with nuttin and once again didnt even think bout breakin that nut loose. Nothing is working I dunno what to do........

 

Spray it with penetrating oil-get it at any local auto parts store or hardware-heat that baby up real nice and hot and it should break loose.

 

got her loose took 4 hours but finally got it woo hoo!!!

 

Damn lol...was it seized?

 

it was seized like nobodys business, had to heat it up to pull it off then the hub was seized into place had to do the same n smash it loose with a hammer big pain in the @ss

 

Sucks to hear that, make sure you put some anti-seize gel on it lol
