steering knuckle removal

[aj_rebel]

i just got my cb off a friend cheap cuz he was showing off and hit a curb at 45. it bent the lower control arm the steering knuckle and the sway bar. it also broke the front comression rod thing. i replaced the control arm and have been trying to get the knuckle off. the main problen is the axle nut. i cant get it loose and ive tried everything my mechanic said to do. if i woulda known it was gonna b such a pain i wouldnt have gotten the car but i need it for work. im open to suggestions.

did you unstake the axle nut? A strong impact gun can take it off, or a giant breaker bar with a pipe extension.

[Cb7GHOST]

yea man look for a little "dent" on the nut that prevents it from turning. remove that.

[aj_rebel]

i did that. i broke the breaker bar trying. i did unstake it too. it will not come off. the only way i can try an impact gun is to sumhow get it to the shop. that is almost impossible cuz the comression rod is broken.

i got my mechanic to make a house call on his way home. we tried his impact gun and it wouldnt budge. this isnt good. i need to get that nut loose so i can fix my car. plaese help.

to get the axle nut off, i kno the nut rotates with the axle i kno its kinda a long shot, but ive seen it done before, but its kind of a long shot, it was on a totally different car. put the wrench with the pipe extension on, jack the car high enuff 2 hold but low enough so the pipe reaches the ground and i beleve u put the car in reverse, slowly shutter it off, not too fast tho because if it doesnt come off, your car is gonna fly off the jack. break the nut rite off with the axle.

ive got pb blaster. i use it for for everything. im working on 3 different vehicles that range from 16 to 40 years old. ill have my dad pick up a new breaker bar and i hopeit works.

[NYKnick1015]

well i kno my method was a long shot and havent ever done it my self but thats if all methods fail and you have no other option

[aj_rebel]

and id say dont do it. im gettin all new tools tomorrow so im gonna try again

[aj_rebel]

i got my tools and ive tried for the last 4 days and it aint coming loose. this is really starting to bother me. is there sumthing im doing wrong

[N9netwoAccord]

try a lonnnnnnnng ass pipe maybe?

[LinX]

Chances are you're not doing anything wrong but that its really just stuck. It's probably been there for a long time. I had the same problem and I broke my breaker bar in the process too. Spray pb all over inside the nut. Let is soak for a good one. Use the stock rims as you can have the wheel on the ground when you try to loosen it. Use a good breaker bar and maybe even an extension pipe. If all else fails, you'll have to use an impact gun with enough psi behind it to bust that shit off.

Find somebody with a 1" impact wrench...the kind they use for 18-wheelers. I promise something will come loose if you have enough psi and air flow behind it.

i got it apart now. it took a 3/4 inch breaker bar and bout an 8 foot pipe. i had to have my brother on the end of the pipe cuz im too light. i got the nut off and everything is apart. soon enought ill b able to drive it. its not gonna b put to work anymore cuz i bought a lil truck off a friend for $500.

[aj_rebel]

i put everything back together with a new knuckle and it is didnt change. its is still sitting cambered out
