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

I had to almost stand on mine to make it move.

Make sure you get it just as tight when you put everything back. 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.
