Axel Nut Question?

Kevinw · 10-05-2007, 10:30 PM

Im trying to remove to cv axels from my 91 classic in preperation to drop the motor
i went and got a 32 mm socket but it doesnt fit on to the axel nut and the car is not driveable so i have no way to try different sockets with buying a bunch of random ones. So i anyone has any ideas or if theres something im missing please let me know thanks

32mm should be the one.

I used a bigass 1 1/4 wrench. Worked just fine...

Maybe you need a deeper 32mm socket?

no the 32 wont even fit onto the nut? Im think maybe aftermarket non oem axels?

Go and get an Axle nut socket at your local store. 34mm maybe? I know the G20's use bigger Axle nuts

I remember looking for the 32MM socket and paying out he ass for one then I saw the $7 axle nut socket.

what is the diff between the 32mm you had before that didn't work and the 32mm axle socket that does work?????????

LOL, maybe it was a shallow socket?

i'm confused...32 mm didn't work before but fits now? did u just forget to turn the socket to try and get it on? lol

Kevinw · 11-19-2007, 08:39 AM

my 32mm was a 12 pt socket not a 6 point

no i didnt forget to turn it
