We tried to switch axels on my car last night, but we couldn't get the axel nut off. It's the nut in the center of the wheel. We tried everything last night, we broke two socket wrenches last night using a cheater bar. we also tried to use and impact wrench at 120 PSI i think. The stupid thing didn't even budge. we soaked in WD40 and nothing. any suggestions?

 

Un crush the crushed part of the axel then with your 32mm impact socket just turn it on high and keep going untill it comes off

 

Get an oxy-acetylene torch and heat the nut up red hot, cool it down, then heat it up again and try an impact gun or a large Breaker bar. A friend in the car holding the brakes helps too. It's possible the air tank you're running off of is just too small to provide a decent amount of power to the gun even at 120 psi.

 

thats what we are thinking. i am going to take it to a shop to get them to break it loose and tighten it back just enough to back home on.
