Figgis41 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 hi,, Hub nuts are ususallt tightened up rather high with a torque wrench,,, so there gunna be damn tight,, try soaking it on WD over night then get a old smaller socket and put that up against the nut so the ring of the socket is on the side wall of the nut and then give it a sharp tap or 2 with a hammer,,, your not hammering/forcing the socket on to the nut your just giving the nut and the stud its on a shock to loosen. Then put the correct size socket on with the wrench and get some type of longer leaver,, ususally a steel pipe that will go over the wrench handle to give more levering force and slowly push down to see if it gives, if not prepeat the shocking process,, if that still fails get some heat on the nut. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 What size of bar are you trying to remove it with? IIRC they are tightened to 235Nm which with a small bar is going to feel very tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I would advise using an extendable wheel wrench, and as stupid as it sounds, remember "Lefty Loosey - Righty Tighty". Its very easy to forget as you want to kill someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
