Thanks for this video. My usual cheap 189 ft lb impact wrench and penetrating oil couldn’t budge the passenger side axle nut like I did with the driver’s. Instead of acetone, I used paint thinner & Toyota transmission fluid. Used a rag and let it soak a few hours and it finally came off! Thanks so much! You saved me.
Good advice soaking that nut with steel wool! I have found that acetone and automatic transmission fluid work the best, even better than store-bought penetrating oil. Thanks!
Yep NP. btw this can be done on any nuts and bolts. I just did this to help loosen a stuck power steering hose Nut. Keep this method in mind for the future. 👍
Unfortunately, a mechanic didn't put a cotter pin in mine, the wheel wobbled and warped the washer that goes behind the nut out around the nut. I've ground about as much as I can reach away, but the nut is still wedged or frozen into place.
Yikes, might have to heat it to get it out. but its tricky. I used a carbide burr before to slowly shave away the threaded steam and nut. Of course then I had to replace the threaded stem & nut as well.
I got it into the shop, the tie rod ends and bearings are destroyed and if I'd gotten the nut off, it all would have fallen apart! Now having to order front end parts, this is for an antique, so no getting them off the shelves.@@FixCarYourself
Tricks 1. Remove hub bearing nuts Drop rotor and hub face down and rotor will pop off .. 2. Put jack stand under breaker bar when removing axle nut Also try wax. 3. If wheel bearing is stuck Use bolts and nuts push stud out...use stud hole... Don't worry about damaging the dust shield. 4. If rotor is stuck to bearing Just throw everything in the trash and buy new rotor .to go along with your new wheel bearing...
Usually mechanics over torque nuts and bolts, and then if it ever has to be removed. It could be so badly stuck. That the bolt would have to be replaced. They need to follow the torque recommendations. But sadly they wont!
Turn to Jesus people, he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, if you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live by his teachings. God bless you all
Never knew you could take off the axle bolt with the tire on. Learn something new everyday. Great video
Thanks 👍

I've done that once before. Your not the only one.

Nice quick tips!
Can the tire come off without having to take out the axle nut?
Yes the wheel can come off by removing just the lug nuts and center cap.
@@FixCarYourself Thank you for the response! I appreciate your time.
Glad to have helped!
