does anyone have any ideas on how to break loose the drive axle bolt (particularly the drivers side) any pointers would be greatly appriciated, ive already tried pb blaster, wd-40, coke, pepsi, and even mountain dew but the bolt refuses to break!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

FWD with that huge lug nut style bolt. Truth be told, unless you have a good air gun set, the only way I have ever been able to break free the drive axle bolt was to firmly place the wrench/ratchet on the bolt.....and gently stand on it......once i got there....i would just slightly bounce on it until it broke free......now.....this IS dangerous to....cuz you can hurt yourself by falling....I would also recommend you secure the car quite well before doing it. I've done 3 transmission replacements and I did this on all of them. I would STRONGLY suggest that you at least make an attempt to have someone with a good air compressor/air gun try to break the nut free first!!!! If you can't afford it, or just don't know anyone.......well.....you do like i did....

 

Ill try that.
but he#@ yeah that f%$#@# bolt is huge 32mm i think!!!!

 

All I will suggest is DONT JUMP ON IT. Just stand on it and slowly kind of bounce on it a little. I weigh 235lbs. It will hold your weight just take your time. It should snap free though after a few bounces. Those things are placed on super tight.

 

i tried that still didn't budge every attempt i tried at extending the rachet for leverage failed too do you think a electric impact wrench would work it has round 400lbs of torque?

 

I used a piece of bar stock to lock the wheel studs so the wheel does not turn. Get a 1 1/4 socket I belive and and put a 1/2" ratchet on it and put a long piece of pipe on it to get leverage, it will loosen. Or use a breaker bar, they are like $30 though.

 

ill try that casper ......

 

Mine came loose with a 3 foot long breaker bar and some grunting. Car was on the ground to break it lose, just like lug nuts...

Best of luck!
