I need some help fast. I CAN"T GET THE NUT OFF OF THE REAR AXEL THAT HOLDS ON THE ROTOR.. Its soOOO stuck, i was jumping on a socket wrench while my friend was pounding it with a hammer and still nothing.... i'm about ready to go out and drop mad money on air tools... anyone help would be appreciated.. my cars up on jackstands... it it may b for a long time if i can't make this work

and i'm doing all this to install a 300zx na lsd with j30 axels... so yeah... also, pm me with ur phone number if u've done this and want to give me some advice, thanks all!

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 07:08 PM

there's no nut to hold on the rotor........

believe me ive changed axles, rotors and rear hubs..no nut holds on the rotor.

you mean the nut on the axle? its on there HARD. HUUUGE breaker bar and go hard and fast. liquid wrench too helps.

make sure you have a axle puller (pusher)

AJ · 05-21-2003, 07:11 PM

thansk man ;0 yeah i ment the one on the axel :-D aight back to a store to get a huge breaker bar... thanks bud

oh and whats an axel puller?

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 07:13 PM

get 1/2" breaker bar
i think the rear nut is 36mm
also! get a pair of the cotter pins! so cheap like 6 cents each or something..dont reuse the old ones .new ones are so cheap do it!!!!

use the floor jack tubing or something else that will slide over the breaker bar

trust me. get a normal breaker bar..and add something over it that extends it FAAAAR OUT
it will break loose easy
its a biatch
i've done it err.......probably 4 times on my car (front and rear--soon to be 6 times) and w/ friends 2 times...3rd coming up...whew!

AJ · 05-21-2003, 07:15 PM

maaan! u r quick!!!! ... i refreshed like as soon as i wrote my last post.. lol, ur on the ball dude. aight, i'm gonna go get a huge bar... thanks! i'll post back if that doesn't work

!

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 07:17 PM

no prob..not sure how long i'll be online but that huge socket a 1/2" breaker bar does the job. it will come off then w/ a extension on it
good luck!

after that! oh chit. rent a axle puller/pusher too. gets those axles out FAST! and i mean FAST!!! no hitting no crap. its free to rent just takes deposit. you'll hav ethe job done w/in 4 hours easy

AJ · 05-21-2003, 08:26 PM

aight, well an impact wrench did the trick,, next problem

can u use a 3 toe puley puller to get the rotors off? will i break anything doing this...

once i get the rotors off.. what else needs to be done before the axel can slide out?.. thanks!

AJ · 05-21-2003, 08:28 PM

damn

allready answered my question, always one step ahead of me,, didn't refesh :-D i tell ya, u rock my world.. dahaa,, aight.. that'll come off soon :-D thanks bro!

kalieaire · 05-21-2003, 08:39 PM

i find that the fastest easiest way to get out the axle is by putting the nut on the end of the axle and have it cover the threads a bit. bang bang, and it's out.

AJ · 05-21-2003, 09:42 PM

so do i have to take the rotors off?

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 09:43 PM

its easier to work incase you smack something you dont want to hehe

calipesr and rotors
just gives more room to work
but really u donto HAVE to but i would for ease

AJ · 05-21-2003, 09:45 PM

awesome, so can i just take those off with a 3 err the thing i talk about above... its a 3 armed pully thingy

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 09:51 PM

yeah i guesss....
(i dont know what 3 arm thing is..heh)

AJ · 05-21-2003, 10:21 PM

these rotors will not budge.. i put back on the huge bold and tryed to pry the rotors off and they won't come,, tried without the bolt and it just shoves the axel back toward the diff.. am i missing something? ... what the hell holds these rotors on... i need a freakin writup or something, i've got 3 guys over here all dumbfounded..

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 10:23 PM

mine did the same
haha
rusted on
er...i forgot what i did
well i dont care about mine so i jsut beat on it till it came off
(i had another set to use and getting another new set)

not sure

AJ · 05-21-2003, 10:28 PM

i need an exploded view :-D

aight, do i need to take the 4 bolts of the back side of... well, its behind the rotor.. AAAHH!!!

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 10:29 PM

ddoood
are you just changing axles?
or hubs?

AJ · 05-21-2003, 10:29 PM

axles... i need to get them out.. and j30 ones in...

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 10:30 PM

wait i understand
no the 4 bolts in back for the hub! dont take those out
rotor just sits there
nothing bolts it in
just got rusted on
has a little hole
maybe put a screw driver in there and try and pry it
might work!

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 10:31 PM

then just leave the rotor if i twont budge
push the axles out and pull th enew ones in
work around it
saves time
just dont crack your rotor if you are swinging a mallet around

AJ · 05-21-2003, 10:32 PM

maaan what little hole!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!

we had a pully puller hooked up to the rotor,, ei,, it pushes on the axel, and pulls out on the rotor...

BUT IT WON"T PULL IT OUT!!! AAAHHHHH!!!.. did u just pound on it with a hammer or what?... do u have aim?.. caus that'd help :-D thanks bud

Dousan_PG · 05-21-2003, 10:36 PM

ya check your pm in a minute....or 2.
