Where you take off the drive shaft in the back is a big nut under it. I cant get the friggin thing off. I tried an impact wrench , cheater bar and all. Is it reverse threads?

Ill take any advice

Just keep trying it can only take so much before it breaks loose. turn your impact about 20 psi past it's RECOMMENDED limit and give it a try it should come. (why do i always post under my brother, stupid brother)

 

its a stupid 12volt impact wrench

 

liquid wrench?

 

tried wd40 and heating it with a torch

 

its getting me mad

 

Tried swearing at it?

You may have better results if you try threatening it in Japanese.

"Are-oo ix se-he-nu wo-du-chi-pu." might work. My Japanese is a tad rusty.

 

don't know if it works space wise, but a wrench with a big *** superlong pipe for leverage?

 

I just used a 1/2" drive breaker bar, and since my rears were out of the car, a pinion holding tool that my dad made. The nice thing about them being out of the car is that you can put all your weight on the breaker bar.

 

for bolts under like that I have a little trick that i get made fun of for, but oh well.

Get a wrench on the bolt and face the wrench close to horizontal, so when you push up the bolt will losen. Then get a jack (yeah what you lift your car with) and put it under the wrench, then start jacking the wrench up to loosen the bolt.

That is how i usually get those pesky rusted *** exhaust bolts off.

That might be a good idea. Im going back to it tommarow

 

haha, no i havent tried that.

 

Dont know if this will help but cant hurt.

If you can, get a torch (little portable job) and a piece of regular wax. Get the wax above the threads and heat the bolt/nut. The wax should leach up the threads and when it cools, comes right off.

Got this trick from one of the local salvage yards.

cool, ive never heard of that before.

 

I just slap a wrench on those bolts, get as much room as I can for a small sledge type hammer.....and WHACK!

For whatever reason, my impact wrench is dead....so that came in very handy when doing my suspension swap.

Its also how I got the flywheel nut off my FC engine.
