spindle nut wont budge
I am replacing my cv boots on my Rex and neither spindle nut will budge with any of my wrenches, even with a breaker bar and a pipe, haha. but it really isn't coming loose at all. I have a 91 CRX DX, so if anyone has had a similar problem it would be awsome for some knowledge to get that off.

Re: spindle nut wont budge
Spray it with pb blaster, knock the little retaining tab up, then put your breaker bar on it and put about a 5' good sized pipe on it, it will come loose or your not very strong, add more people if nessasary. Or put a jack under the breaker bar and jack it up, that works also.

Re: spindle nut wont budge
I already sprayed it with PB blaster like crazy, had me, my dad, my Fiancé and about a 6' pipe and I'm a biker and my dad's got guns so we are not weak, so I'm not sure, I think I might just get out the C4, haha. but I will try the idea with the jack.

Re: spindle nut wont budge
Try a simple solution, an impact wrench. GL

Re: spindle nut wont budge
impact. your constant pressure with a breaker bar isnt nearly as effective as the impact hammering while turning.

Re: spindle nut wont budge
I got it off, and I did try and impact wrench and I have to say, with my 20 gal. compressor maxed and using my huge gun, the thing didn't budge, but we got both easy with a longer pipe and pb blaster.
