I just bought a durablue emlimanator and is trying to put it on and i can't get the stock axle nut off. How do you get it off with out busting the brake hub. I have tried for hours trying to get the stupdd thing off (using the manual) and what people have told me. I think that it is just froze on there and will not come off please help me . Give some ideas to get it off with out busting th brake hub i'm already buying a lock axle nut. Thanks

 

Since your replacing the axle. i used a big wrench big enough to stand on and took a torch to heat it up and had some one stand on the wrench it finally came loose. i have a 86 also i dont think the ever had it apart since it was assembald.

 

remember that it pushes against teh retaining ring so if you want to loosen it you need to turn it clockwise

 

Yes, they are reverse threaded.

 

yes reversed threaded and i had to jump on a big adjustable wrench to get mine off...

 

I have tried a 18" wrench on the nut and had a 3' cheater bar with 2 people helping me and it still will not budge. I'm probley just going to cut very easily through the inside nut with a dremel tool and try not to hit my brake hub. I'm going to buy a new axle nut should i just spend the $50 and get the durable one or save and buy the brake hub with no-fad axle nut?
Thanks
