My wheel bearing on my front passanger side has gone BAD and I mean BAD, but I'm having a bit of and issue removing the nut on my front passanger side axle. I've tried an impact and a cheater bar. I've even tried heating the nut with a torch and nothing it won't budge. ANY ideas would be awsome. Thanks in advance.

 

Yep what I would do is pull bearing and axle assembly together. Go to pull a part and get a new axle and nut replace bearing and install new axle.

 

i've already got the parts I need just can't get the damn nut to come off

 

stand on your breaker bar. I jumped on mine. Worked for me. Just make sure you have the right size socket and your breaker bar is kicked in a little.

 

may have to try that...gotta get a new breaker bar tomorrow tho I bent mine almost into a U

 

aight so I worked on trying to remove the nut last night for 3 hours and still haven't gotten it off. Back gave out on me so I had to quit, tried again today and so far I've tried "PB Blaster", and bent two 1/2" pull/break bars with cheater bars on them and I still can't get this nut to break loose I need help

 

find a friend with a 1" drive impact gun, when you put it back together torque it to spec, sounds like whoever did the hub last time really cranked it on... probably why the bearing went bad

 

If you jump be careful. I had one smack me in the chest when it slipped at full force. To say the least it hurts lol.

Anyways, take the center cap off of your rim, put the tire back on tighten the lugs put it in 4x4, lower jeep. Put the breaker bar back onto the nut, and get a HUGE cheater bar that covers the whole breaker bar and push on that bar....if it doesnt work, call over a big friend to help.

Thats what I had to do after said incident.....we had it off in about 30 seconds.

 

Mine was jammed pretty good wen i had to change mine... Luckily I had AR wagon wheels so all I did was soak the nut with PB blaster a couple times, had a friend hold the break in and I jumped on the breaker bar... all while the jeep was on the ground. Hope it helps

 

you need more heat get the nut glowing red and have your breaker bar and socket ready thats how i got one to brake loose on a 3/4 chevy 01 4x4 tried standing on breaker and impact didn't come loose till i heated it hope this helps

 

I am the big friend lol 6'4" 265

 

Go to napa get a new nut and pull the hub and axle together and don't worry about the damn nut.

 

I have to worry about the nut cuz it's attached to my axle

 

go to pull a part and get a axle for 20 bucks.

 

also, get it warm with heat then shoot some pb blaster or wd40 on it, the heat causing the threads to expand and it will pull the solvent into the threads
