Wheel nut stuck, thread broken!

Hi guys

I was removing my wheels today.

One nut stopped turning (somehow it was on an angle and therefore stuck), so I put more force on it, and it got stuck halfway out.

After a few more tries, *SNAP*, the nut, still connected to the thread was loose!

What can I do to get it out, I guess I have broken the whole thread off the hub, but it won't come out. I can turn it but the nut is stuck on the thread, and the thread caught somehow..any ideas?!?!?! :confused:

Hopefully you can see what I mean where the nut is stuck on the thread, and the thread is off the hub (loose) but still caught on something.

yeah, its probably munced itself nicely..

What I would do is keep stripping it so the nut slides off. If it's beyond hope its beyond hope so just get it off however you have to.

Replacing the stud is not a difficult process once you dissembe things. The studs are about $2.50 each. You'll have to first take the disc off.. which will mean you will have to remove the calipers (again, easy)

Which end is it? front or rear.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
