Front Eccentric Shaft Bolt
 

I need to replace the front eccentric shaft oil seal and I can't get the hub bolt to budge even with a three foot breaker bar. Are they standard thread? Lefty loosy and righty tighty?
If I use am impact wrench could I damage anything?


Thanks........

Put the breaker bar against your fender well and crank the engine with the starter. That'll pop it.

On the drivers side?

Well just broke a 3/4 ratchet. Any other suggestions?

Yeah. Don't use a ratchet. Use a Craftsman 3/4 breakover. Same method.

Thanks, that's plan B now. Gotta go get one.
Funny thing, when I started this project the wife said, o no are you going to buy more tools? Said no honey I got what I need. O well!

If you have an impact wrench , that works wonders.

Even with one it took me a while.

Thank you, I did read that already. I got what Hailers suggested from my friend next door and it worked like a champ. Now off to finish before dark.

And I didn't have say I was a girl or anything. :rolleyes:
