Hub Nut

[ozy 0]

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.

Decent half inch drive breaker bar plus a length of scaffold pole for leverage works for me.

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.

U are going to need a press to get the old bearing out and the new one in don't do it with a hammer u will shatter the bearing.

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.
