Trying to get the axle nut off the drivers side was even worse! I was lifting the car off the ground with 8' of leverage and the little b*#& would not move. That must have been close to 1000# of pressure to lift the car. it even snapped the bolt that was in the middle of my jack handle... I am worn out but I guess the next manuver will be to have a couple friends over to sit in the trunk while I go for it... I soaked it 5x throughout the week with liquid wrench... thats one tough nut!
If that doesnt do it I guess I will just cut it off. Since I dont need the axle stubs that actually might be easier. I have taken axles out of many 911's and never had anything close to this amount of grief. |

Something to think about if you have limited access to tools. When you're putting them back on, if you don't have a big torque wrench the newer Craftsman 1/2" breaker bars seem to break somewhere around 300-350 ft lbs. It's kind of like a one time "clicker" feature, with free replacements down at Sears. Your experience may vary, as it probably will when Sears changes suppliers because they're getting lots of broken bars returned.
