ozy 0 Posted June 9, 2012 Hi, I am renewing the wheel bearing drivers side, and I can not loosen the hub nut. I am a fairly strong guy (plumber to trade) is this a normal thread? I have snapped one extension piece already, and do not want to do any damage to anything. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you. ozy. 1994 sceptre 1.4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted June 9, 2012 Decent half inch drive breaker bar plus a length of scaffold pole for leverage works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,646 Posted June 9, 2012 yes it is a standard right hand thread, get a decent 1/2 inch breaker bar and stand on it, if that fails take the car to a garage and ask them to buzz it off with an impact gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normski 1 Posted June 11, 2012 When I did mine the 1/2" was just too flexy, I had to get a 3/4" bar + scaffold pole. Makes a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
