How on earth do you remove the bolt on the hub that is holding the front rotors on on a 96 2500 4 wheel drive. We have sprayed it with wd40 and used a breaker bar and a pipe on it and it refuses to budge.

 

Yeah, those guys are a real drag at times.... consider they are torqued to like 180 ft lbs.....

Chemicals, heat, a 3/4 inch drive socket, and a LONG pipe.

 

I sprayed it with wd before i quit for the night but im using a 3/4 drive. The pad's aren't bad, its just the back of the rotors have a big hole in it. We will see what tomorrow brings. Thanks

 

if i couldn't get it off with my impact wrench, i'd take it to a tire shop and pay them to break it loose with their big 1 inch drive impact that generates about 1000 pounds of torque. then spray a shot of wd40 on it and reinstall at a reasonable amount of torque and drive it home.

as a manual alternative, sheriff had a method using a floor jack to turn the pull bar, and a big rod or pipe locking the rotor or u-joint from turning.

 

put a jack under the breaker bar and have someone sit in the truck on the breaks and slowly jack up the jack
