hi there peeps i carnt seem to get my hub nuts(frount) off my s2 rs turbo its a 30mm nut iv got it on to wheels on floor and used a socket and big bar but snapped a short extention at the socket are these nut left hand thread by any chance and should i just give up and buy a compresser and impact wrench to make it easyer but that costs money

 

just put some more ummff into it...

just get someone to put there foot on the brake and use a long lever so its easier...

 

i dont know if this will work i just thought of it you can try it if you want

put the socket and power bar on the nut and rest it on the floor, if it's on the passenger side rest it facing the rear and try reversing the car slowly to undo the nut and oppesite on the driver side. if you do try it i would get somone to hold the power bar in place

i dont know if this will work iv never done it, im just thinking outside the box

other wise pull it like one of your mates nailing your sister

 

Have a very good look at the end of the thread on the driveshaft first to see if it is left hand thread, as they should not be that tight, so you MAY be trying to do it up!!
tabetha

 

you carnt see the thread
iv bent a bar and snapped a 1/2 inch extention bar so i must be puttin some ummff into it
i carnt find my manual so still dont know if its left or right hand thread

 

get some heat on it with a blow torch or 1 of them hand held bunsen burners things make sure you use a 6 sided 30mm socket and a good strong extension bar if this don't shift it get the angle grider out and split the buy in half

 

use a breaker bar, or if you aint got one, put a metal pipe over the ratchet so it acts like breaker bar.....

 

as above get a big breaker bar. it will also help if u get a chisel to knock out the 'staked' part of the nut.
if you take the wheel off you will see a section of the nut that has been' staked' into a cutout on the cv joint to stop the nut from coming undone.
try using some heat also it may have been cross threaded at some point.
I've never come across an rst with a left handed thread so undo it in the normall way

 

cheers got them off used my mates snap on gear and broke his breaker bar lol but when the van came to his garage he told them and he drove round to my garage and got it of with an impact wrench and compressor so big shout to the snap-on van man
