ok, as some of you all know I am in the middle of a project build up on my GSX.
I am running into some difficulties and need some help. I have a Chiltons and haynes books, I also have the repair manual on cd (BTW cant figure out how to load correctly) but I am still having some stuborn difficulties and such. this post may become quite long as the project continues, but I will appreciate all the help I can get with this. thanks for the space!!!!! First Question: does anyone have a simple way to get the spindle nuts off of a '93??? I have the cotter key out and have been hammering on it for a couple of hours with a 450 ft/lbs impact. I have also drowned it in PB Blaster. (BTW the pass. side came off with in a few min of getting at it with the impact.) Second: do I just use a regular puller to get the hub assembly off??? and why does my hub assembly look like the hub assembly from a FWD according to Chiltons??? -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

I've always used PB blaster and a long lever arm for the spindle nuts. Sounds like you've been soaking them in PB blaster. Have you tried a longer lever arm? I've had good luck by sliding a length of steel pipe over the end of the torque wrench.
You'd be suprised at the amount of help you get from a 3 ft lever arm. Driver's side is almost easier as you can 'deadlift' the wrench (stand-up into the pull). Take a 3 foot lever arm and a 300 pound pull and you're looking at doubling the torque of that impact wrench. -------------------- |
