2WD Front Hub Nuts

Titan1995 · Post by **Titan1995** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:21 pm

I am currently cannibalising a 2WD drive Bongo that I bought just for this purpose. I need to remove the hub nut that holds on the blanking shaft for what would be a 4x4 outer CV joint.
I have just broken a ½ driver SnapOn breaker bar trying to undo this nut albeit with a tube extension on it.
I have ordered a ¾ break bar and impact socket to attempt again.
However, just a thought, these dummy shafts would not have a left hand thread on them by any chance? Anyone know?
Also need to remove the hubs to get to the brake dust shield as I need this for my other Bongo. Are these just press fit on with the hub?

Well I will be armed with a 3/4" drive breaker bar when I try again on Wednesday.

Hopefully this one won't break

On the upside the 1/2" drive bar was replaced free of charge by my local SnapOn man despite it being something like 30yrs old .

I am so glad I bought SnapOn as an apprentice .

Well the following combination did the trick.:-

Two and half foot long 3/4 drive breaker bar, deep impact socket , three foot long jack handle and me a mere 120kg standing on the extended length.

Oh forgot to mention 45kg partner on the brake pedal.

Probably the tightest nuts I have ever undone on a vehicle in 35 years of working vehicles.
