i realize its been on there for 19 years but is there any way of getting the thing off? i don't have access to an impact wrench or a torch. I'm soaking it in pb blaster now but any other advise would be great

use a pipe or something to add onto your wrench to get more leverage which will give you more power to get it off since you cant get an impact

i have a pipe thats about 4 feet long that i bent trying to loosen it but that was before i let it soak in the pb blaster hopefully that will help

yea that stuff is pretty good but other than air tools and heat i cant think of anything else to use

chuckd2008

ok thank man

take it to a local shop and have them heat it up n break it they wont charge much. i just had to do that cuz my bearing was shot n i lucked out they didnt charge me.

I broke mine loose with a 26" breaker bar. I soaked the hell out of them with PB and mine have been on for 21 years.

yeah go to a shop, impact wrench will take it off. They probably do it for free, just be friendly

i tried breaking mine with a 3 foot 3/4 snap on breaker bar and it wouldnt budge and i also tried to impact it off and nothing had to go get it heated up and that was with is being blasted with kroil 4 times a day for 3 days

had a similar problem with a 200,000+mile subaru, was able to take the centercap out of the wheel and put a 1" ratchet with a 4ft pipe on the end, basically lifted the wheel off the ground but came off after a couple tries
