Front hub nuts????

[graeme38]

I'm trying to undo the front hub nut on an 86 N/A, to change a wheel bearing, with out much success.

It's bloody tight. It doesn't seem to have been undone since new and has been punched into the spline and onto the thread.

Has anyone struck this before and have a solution?

Cheers, Graeme.

3/4 drive breaker bar with appropriate socket, or a 32mm socket welded to a piece of thickwall pipe / truck axle, i have both they work awesome for cracking them.

Cheers, I'd pretty much started heading down that track and am getting hold of a 3/4 drive and a bigger pipe.

The next question will be the best approach to get the old bearing out? I'm presuming that they come out quite easily once the cir-clip is removed. That's going by the drawing in this thread,

You should also get a socket for an air hammer which is 6 sided not 12.

Usually you need a 3/4 decent sized rattle gun to get them also a good supply of compressed air, its easiest just to get a 3/4 bar and crack them with that,

The bearings are probably easiest with a press.
