I broke my 1/2" breaker bar on this job so I bought a 3/4" bar and 1 3/16" socket. With a piece of roll cage tubing over the breaker bar I stood on it at least 2 feet from the nut.

I have what you need. 20 years ago a guy at a porsche/vw/audi shop said "get a 3/4 breaker bar, a 3/4 inch socket as close as you can get and about a 6 foot long piece of black iron pipe big enought to fit over the handle of the breaker bar. With the wheels on the car and the car on the ground, in gear and with the emergency brake on, put the socket over the nut, the breaker bar into the socket, rotate the handle to either 3 o'clock, or 9 o'clock, and climb up on the end of the braker bar. Hang onto something and jump until it comes loose. If you are not hanging on you will fall on your a--!. Once they come loose, jack the car up and remove the wheels....
They are torqued to 450 pounds, and with a little corrosion, it may take 600 or 700 pounds to break them loose. I'm afraid that if you do this on jackstands, you might knock the car off of the stands and onto yourself. Also with the car on jackstands I do not think you will be able to hold the axle still, and with what you have rigged, you could hurt yourself. |
