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. |

I am surprised no one has mentioned the torque multiplier that bolts to the rotor. I have never tried one on a teener yet but have used it on 356's and vw's. The multiplier has the bolt spacing for VW wide 5 and VW 4 lug. The bolt pattern for 5 lug porsche is on the same circle as the 4 lug so an adapter plate could be made to make it work for the 5 lug cars. Using the multiplier it should only take about 40-50 ft./lbs of torque to remove and install the axle nut. I'll have to look at mine and see about making an adapter plate to see if it would work but I can't see why not if it will work on a 4 lug bug.
Heres a link to the tool I'm talking about: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?Pr...CC%2DC10%2D7036 |
