has anyone else had trouble with the axle nuts not moving??? mine are locked up, and there isnt much thats willing to move them, any suggestions?

breaker bar with a BIG pipe, and stand on it. that's if you don't have air tools.

BEFORE u do anythign else, make sure u knock the notch back out with a punch, the nut is tapped into a slot to keep it from moving on the axle.

yeah, the big pipe was the plan, but broke a breaker bar and craftsman 1/2 drive ratchet trying. this thing is stupid. i gotta get the clutch in, it is slipping horridly. i just hope i dont have to pay someone else to do it

yeah-- Borrow an air gun (a good one with lots of reverse torque)

Or-- you can use the big pipe/breaker bar trick, but have the handle rest on the ground. Turn the car on and blip the throttle.

It SHOULD break loose after that.
