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. |

QUOTE Now dont laugh guys but here is the plan... I am going to wheel my engine hoist over to the car and use it to lift the jack handle that is attached to the break over bar. Once the car is up in the air again I am going to take the foil from a stick of chewing gum and make a contact point between the battery terminal and ground. The resulting spark will slowly wither it's way up the pull chord for the lamp in the garage. The bulb will be filled with gasoline and when the lamp chord ignites the gasoline, a fairly large explosion will result and a 55 gallon drum of taconite will fall from the rafters into the waiting trunk of the 914 which has been strategicially placed below... As goofy as it sounds I think its got to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
