My ABS & Break Light Came On, I Started Hearing A Rubbing Noise On Drivers Side Front Wheel. I Pulled Wheel Off And Found That Bearing Were Shot. Went To Replace Hub And Found I Couldn't Break The Axle Nut Loose. I Checked Threads And seemed To Be Right Hand Thread !! Any Suggestions ??? Thanks
a big 3/4 in impact wrench works best. a long pipe and muscle is next best. a nice, dangerous, killer style shade tree method is to wedge the breaker bar against the ground and drive forward or backward to loosen the nut. use extreme caution and keep the children away, as this can break tools in a violent manner and with great satisfaction.
if you don't have any of these, take it to a tire shop and have them break it loose, then apply antisieze and reinstall the nut but not quite so killer tight.
