Default Trying to Loosen Axle Nuts

If your working on your hub nuts (to remove your wheel hubs, you'll want to use an impact. They can get pretty tight. I've had to use a bar and put my foot on the rear break with a breaker bar on the bar too. Ended up on the floor when it cam loose [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Default Trying to Loosen Axle Nuts

I just changed the bearings in the 02 raptor and I had a BI$CH of a time trying to get the Axle nut off. I purched the Motion Pro wrench set and got the breaker bar from Lowes. I layed on the bike with my foot on the rear break and pushed down. I tried the pipe wrench with a torch and the same thing was happing just chewed up the nut. And yes I removed both allen screws holding the nut.

Good luck.
