Im trying to break the axel nuts loose on my 94st (7a) and they just wont budge. Ive tried electric impact gun, air gun, putting a crowbar between the studs to keep wheel from spinning (bent a stud), tried using my 1/2in. craftsman ratchet with a breaker bar and broke the ratchet. I dont know what else to do. Please help me with any suggestions, thanks.

[right][snapback]338024[/snapback][/right] thanks for the advice i appriciate it. However I tried already. The brakes cant be used cause ive diconnect all the lines to pull the motor, so what i did was put a large screw driver in the rotor slot so the caliper would prevent the wheel from moving. I then used a 4ft breaker bar and my 1/2 drive ratchet broke at the cube. I went to sears and replaced it alread. (craftsman) Thanks for the advice anyway. |
