Axle nut
06/17/10 at 08:14:51

Got my mew tires but I can't loosen the rear axle nut for the life of me! Does anyone know what size that nut is.
I tried a big cresent but it wouldn't budge. Also, on the opposite side is a bolt that seems to spin when I try to loosen the axle nut. The specs say the axle nut should be torqued at 40-60 ft/lbs...I would think I should be able to loosen that without a breaker bar but I'm not sure.
Thanks

Didnt tighten my axle bolt on my rebel enough and a couple weeks later the nut vibrated loose and fell off. Luckily I felt a wiggling in the rear and pulled over and was able to call for help but it couldve ended very badly.
