Stuck nuts
« on: March 17, 2019, 03:23:32 PM »
I am trying to replace the seal where the driveline meets the rear diff and I cannot break the nut loose. I have tried pb blaster and a couple other kinds of penetrating sprays but know luck. Any suggestions?

What a thread title!

Squirt the cricket piss to it and let it sit overnight. Or mild heat from a torch.

Use high strength impact gun.  Either it loosens or breaks.  New bolts n good to go. Heat is a good idea.

I’ve had pretty good luck with a little heat followed by lots of penetrating oil. Kroil is my go to. Impact driver or tapping it as you try to loosen it may help also. I’ve used the cuss and throw things method too, but I usually just embarrass myself

Little heat, biggest breaker or cheater bar you can find, little penetrating oil and lots of grunting and cussing.

I've also been know to just cut nuts off with a grinder wheel as long as you're careful. If it's an actual bolt head though those are alot harder to fix if you cut the heads off and I don't recommend that.

Mixture of 50/50 acetone and automatic tranny fluid. Squirt it on, let sit a bit. Should come lose fairly easily.

Liquid wrench, little heat, hammer.  One time I got the wrench on a nut just right and then used the jack to turn the wrench.

Yep. It will come off when it’s glowing red. Take common sense precautions of course.
