ok my cv boot cracked and riped apart so i got a new boot and i am goinna put it on but the big 32mm nut on the axel i cant get this p.o.s off i un crimped the piece where they phiseled it in but i still cant get it off i tried to heat it wd-40 it and nothing does anyone have any ideas

what are you using to tkae it off ? I used an electric 7.5A impact and took 10min to take that bolt off the first time I did it

Im pretty sure you're not supposed to use an impact gun on the 32 MM nut... I used a big pry-bar, and slid a 5 foot pipe onto the pry-bar. I basically had a 5 foot pry-bar and it took me 2 minutes.

yeah I knew that but didn't have a 5ft pry bar :p

I cut mine off with a grinder and bought a new nut

ok.. ??? how does that help? You cant change the Boot with the CV still bolted in.

ok i finnaly got it off i heated it and used a pipe and it worked thats a lot for your help guys by they way i also just ended up buying a new axel because the bearings looked pretty shreaded up only cost me 140 buks with 3 quarts or gear oil too i changed that while i was at it everything is running smooth now
