    Front hub nuts advice

    ian010778 posted a topic in Gearbox & Drivetrain

    Hello all, I need some help with undoing the front hub nuts please - another one of my many rookie errors! I took all the front end bits off the car before undoing the hub nuts so I'm trying to undo them in the garage. The hubs still have the old shock absorbers attached (as well as the driveshafts) and I just can't get enough leverage to crack the hub nuts off. The brake calipers and discs are off so I've tried screwing a couple of bolts into the hub carrier and inserting a bar through them to effectively lock the hub carrier against the floor but when I go for it with the breaker bar I just lift myself off the floor! I can't grip the driveshafts and I didn't want to try this too much as I don't want to damage the shafts. I know I should have cracked these before taking the hubs off the car - does anyone have any advice on how I might get them undone so I can get the driveshafts out please? Ian.
