Axle Nut lock Removal

[randombeliever1]

Anyone have tips on how to remove my axel nut lock bearing? I tried using a breaker bar and I ended up breaking it. I tried using a flathead and hammering out the indented part and no luck. It looks like the previous person who tried to take it off used heat and it looks somewhat welded together. I'm running out of options. Can someone offer some insight?

I mean unless you push that dent out, it really wont move haha. So you're going to have to hit it harder and pop it out somehow. Have you tried pb blaster and a powerful impact?

PB blaster, knock out the dent with a punch or a chisel if worse comes to worse find someone with a 1" breaker bar.

I haven't tried pb blaster and I unfortunately don't own an impact. I'll be sure to give those a try

Any idea on where I can get a punch or a chisel?

I never bother removing the indent. This is my technique:

Pop the wheel cap out and put the car on the ground on its wheels in gear plus parking brake.
Use a jack stand to hold the breaker bar and just stand on the handle. The weight of the car plus traction of the tire holds the axle from turning plus the jack stand keeps the torque focused on the nut. Never failed me.

Damn. Havent seen that before!

OP use 1/2 breaker bar or larger. Non of that 3/8 stuff lol.

When I did mine I soaked the axel nut for like 4 days with PB Blaster and broke 2 breaker bars, thank god for receipts, and I had a nice little electric impact from Harbor Freight and just used the 2 together little by little and boom it came free.

Forget air, use battery powered. I have the kobalt 1/2 inch 18v and Milwaukee 3/8 11v. Haven't found a bolt I can't take off yet haha
