Hubs Bolts

[Madaz]

is there any easy way ... easier than SAU search feature

to get the big BIG nut of the thread to get the rear hubs off

goto love the N73 not as much as Luke (HESLO) loves the N95

[Nightcrawler]

misread your question .... but my answer to your real question would be to get a big arse socket with a long jimmy bar and jump on it.

[Madaz]

lol thanks andrew halfways through your post i was thinking

yeah luke seems to think its a 32mm socket

WD40 / RP7 the f**k out of it...............then get a socket, breaker bar and then a bit of pipe as a cheater bar and jump

note, dont fall off

[Madaz]

whats this cheater bar im guessing not Jerry Springer styles

[Luke_ENR34]

just bring out the sledge hammer. works everytime

[heslo]

Yeah looks like the way to go but pity we can't lock the diff to stop the hub from spinning as there's no gearbox in the car

ah my favorite tool apart from TNT

cheater bar is a hollow metal bar with extra length used as a longer lever. truckies used them a lot, but they're highly illegal in a lot of industries (as if ya dont know what ya doing its a danger)

try locking the brakes on, or drop the tailshaft off and find a way to lock the front face of the diff centre

[Madaz]

matty we cant lock the brakes on due to rotors off we got a star dropper so will try and lock that in the studs and see if we can lock it that way

[Nightcrawler]

You should be able to find a point of rotation where the hub doesn't move much (without the need to lock it) - you only have to break it - then it will be easy peasy. I would buy some 'penetrene' (which is a spray not dissimilar to WD40) that will get into the thread and make it much easier to undo. I have a bottle here if you want to come over and borrow it.

put 2 wheel nuts back on and put a big pry bar in to hold against the breaker bar. and next time undo the nut then take the brakes off

[Madaz]

well Luke got that big nut off very easy but couldn't get any further, and I'm not led to believe we need a press to get it off the axle but we couldn't even get the axle out the car

bit spewn cause i will have to pay wrecker prices for both front and rear hubs

so if anyone has any bright ideas which are based on fact not how about try this then would be greatly appreciated

[Luke_ENR34]

think thats what we did 2 get my mates s15 one off. got it pressed out.

got it done for a six pack of pale

[Madaz]

yeah but still no adice on how to get the backing plate or what ever its called with the axel and hub out or do i have to undo all the bold holding the diff in then maybe find sum bolts on the back of this so called backing plate again if thats what its called,

and ive probably run out of time to get these parts

[Luke_ENR34]

i'll ask my mate tomorrow and i'll let u know.

[shy_s6]

theres a couple silly suggestions in here...

ive changed many of these before, the toolman at pooraka has the socket ($30) u wont find them at autobarn/sprints ect, like a few guys said use the ratchet with a big f*k off hollow bar slide over it for leverage (the longer the better).. note a little hint wrap the bar is some rags as she can let go suddenly and u dont want to scratch your paint, try to use the smallest extension also, as i broke 2 1/2 extensions
