Pinion nut removal
I have a problem with the pinion nut, it doesn't want to come off! :argh: I bought a 950ft lb loosening air impact wrench and its not doing the job. I'm stumped to why I can't get this pinion nut off. I have 1 5/16 socket which is the correct size. Someone please help! Am I over looking something small?

I assume you are changing the seal, and that is why it is coming off? You can heat the nut with a torch, it will expand the nut and loosen any loc-tite in the threads. Just don't get carried away.

i have had to heat to get them off as well.

will a propane torch get it hot enough?
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- yes changing the seal on it, along with the front axle seals haha! That axle seal where the CAD is located is giving me hell!!! I would like to hit someone on the head with a hammer who thought of the bright idea of how those dodge front ends go together! SHEESH talk about a PIA!!!:dang: |
Are you talking like a BernzoMatic torch, or Oxy - Propane?

benzomatic. Also i dont have a seal driver that big, what would someone recommend for driving that seal?
|
Red Loctite (assuming its on there) releases at around 300 deg F
