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!!!

1. Do like KOU says and it still doesn't budge start jumping on it. Worked for me before I got an impact.
2. I may be wrong but I'm assuming you are taking the transmission out right now? If so then you don't need to detach the entire hub assembly. There are 2 ways to loosen it enough to free the axle. -Remove the nut that connects the ball joint on the lower control arm to the hub assy. You might need a pickle fork to help you out. The hub should move enough to free the axle. OR -Remove the bracket that attaches the brake line to the strut. Remove the two bolts that attach the hub to the strut. You should be able to free the axle now. |
