deffudled by this damn axle nut
so i need to replace my input shaft bearing so i needed to take the axle out to get the tranny out. we tried to get the axle nut off for like 2 hours. we ended up breaking 2 1/2inch ratches AND a 1/2 inch breaker bar trying to get that bitch off. were out of ideas on how to get this axle off. has anyone ran into this problem?? any ideas??

Re: deffudled by this damn axle nut
you think air would be stronger then like a 5 foot leverage bar on a breaker bar?

try an impact gun, most likely last time it was put on it was with a impact wrench.
