TurboRust Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 use the pry bar between the studs and run the handle into the ground, then get a breaker bar with as much cheater bar as you need, use exhaust pipe, whatever. remember alto of cars are upwards of 200+ ft/lbs on axle nuts call me if you need a pipe, 256-4040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will assume your rims have a hole in the center of them to get to it. On the Audi I had to put the rim back on with the e-brake on, drop it on the ground so the drive terrain wouldn't move. The again, it took my weight on the end of a 2ft. breaker bar. Granted spec. is 85ft/lb plus 270 degrees! I was starting to crank the engine and move the whole car when I had it in the air. I have a nice 2ft. 1/2" breaker/cheater bar if you want to borrow it. I started breaking ratchets left and right so I went and bought one.

rl Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Put a breaker bar on the nut and creep forward. True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 What are you trying to get it off of? The way i have always done it, which has been with FWD cars only leave the tires on the car and leave the car on the ground, pull the e-brake and use a breaker bar and push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grease monkey Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 go and get an electric 1/2 in impact gun, or get a compressor and a 1/2 in air impact gun. Air tools are the shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
