so it sounds like to me that getting the nut off means that im ganna destroy the cv axles and ball joints. and no i dont have access to any of those that i know of

 

Bud just try the hammer and chisel. Even if you don't have one $15 and you'll get it off. Don't worry about your CV's if they aren't bad now they will still be fine after. If you don't think you can hit it hard enough and miss your hand use some vice grips to hold the chisel.

 

What i was trying to say is that after tearing into it that far its not much more $ to replace everything and be all done. Sometimes the cv axle will go bad shortly after you mess with other things like hubs and ball joints. I personally dont like doing things twice so i would change it all and be finished with it. I hope you are able to get the nut off and everything goes well for you.

 

I know what you mean for sure and I would possibly agree if he wasn't doing the work himself but if it could save him a couple hundred dollars and the CV's/BJ's lasted another 5 years as is why not? Not to mention if they are the stock CV's and in good shape they are going to be better then a $60 generic autostore replacement. And of course if he uses some anti-seize on the bolts and has to replace the CV in a few years down the road it isn't much more then an hour to do.

 

well i can give it another try i suppose but im getting to the point where im ganna send it in to get it done by a professional mainly because its starting to sound really really bad and i dont have another car...ik i could save money and do it myself but i dont really have the time to lol

 

Don't give in so easy Ten minutes with a cold chisel and it will be off.

 

well after many failed attempts...i cant really get it off myself it looks like i may have to take it in

 

I broke a breaker bar trying this myself. Only way you'll get it off, is to use a 1/2" Impact. My $30 impact from harbor frieght worked fine. Even though I doubted it would make rated torque.
