The crowbar was genius. I couldn't get the whole thing to be still. Still haven't gotten mine loose yet but I'm working on that. Thanks a million.
Glad it helped!
Did you get it loose
My prybar bent
Loosen it before you raise the wheel with the trim or centre cap off and with the handbrake on and chocks. Or, get an assistant to apply the brakes.
Great job. The GM dealer Tech couldn't get mine off so I told him to put the wheel back on and took it to a garage that knew what the hell they were doing.
3/4 torque wrench and pipe definitely did the job. Thank you, it helped alot.
💪🏻😅
Nice little set up never thought to use the jack stand and crowbar to stop the rotation. I’ll try that tomorrow. As it is I put the damn tire back on to stop the rotors from rotating lol. But the socket won’t fit now probably need a bigger one anyway
Won't you damage the axle threads if you chisel the nut off?
Couldn’t believe it worked! Thanks. I used the first method, jack stand is a must.
👊🏻
Def great tip.. this third time I've had to do wheel hubs.. this recent one (that's currently stuck) was attached to a bad strut/shock I replaced.. I guess the bouncing killed the ball bearings and went superman tight on my CV nut.. and the impact wasn't cutting it
Man that text at the end threw me off for a second. I was like who’s Don and then I saw Don’t. Lol 😂
✅😂👍🏼
Great options.
the long pipe is top notch!
❤❤❤ Thank You!!!
Thanks man!
👊🏼
Use a good quality 3/4" socket (12 point if appropriate), 3/4" 100-200mm extension on to an axle stand (chocked as required to ensure socket and extension sits square on) to steady it and then a 3/4" breaker and 6' scaffolding pole. Works every time for me. Repeat for assembly substituting torque wrench for breaker bar.
Picked my vw golf gti a month ago just found out I'm missing a axle bolt luckly my lug nuts kept the wheel on. Wondering if they'd isn't put on or if I lost it for some reason
My cv axle nut was so seized up that my 3/4 to 1/2 adapter broke(impact btw), ended up drilling the nut after hours and a broken breaker bar
When you said 'long pipe' you wern't joking!
I've learned that using a heavier impact socket works when a lighter weight one wont..
If that bolt breaks, would you have to replace the whole axle?
Yep, that "bolt" is the end of your CV axle. I never have heard anyone breaking them up, so you shouldn't be worried, BUT it can be a really, REALLY hard to get them off.
jack stand
I used a soldering iron in split pin hole 10 mins come off easy after trying everything
Good one, new for me! 👊🏼
What exactly did you do, thanks
😂 put the point end of scolding iron in pin hole for 10 minutes
@@karlbigmore7949 ok thanks
@karlbigmore7949 what pin hole?
I broke 2 breaker bars so far. Ugggg
I know the pain… 😬
@@DIYtime I just got it off with heating it up with a torch, WD-40. Impact wrench for about a minute. The vibrations got it off
Nice! 😅
We broke a few heavy duty sockets… thats when I decided to share what we did and what worked for us, cuz this is one of the hardest repairs I’ve had so far.
DO NOT heat and add water to it. That's called rapid quenching and makes the steel brittle.
Are you sure about that? I think deez nuts are made out of mild steel, which cannot be hardened by quenching, right? :)

Yeah, I have that same impact and it doesn’t work for this. Tried heating it up and tried a 6ft breaker bar! All it did was bend the crow bar and I’m talking a 4ft dewalt that’s new! Fucking axle nut, no wonder the garage charges so much…. 😡
Yeah, it can get really bad with these...
Haha. Really these are anateur tips. It it's really sized on there a little 3/4 to half inch sdapter will break. Crow bar genius? What about a flathead screwdriver in the disc brake vent. It will not budge
Amateur - fine, that all I had to offer.
It worked for me and at least for other 234 people.
Little help is better than no help...
