WTF

anyone ever have the castle nut come half off then the whole stud starts spinnnig and the nut wont come off the rest of the way? mine is half popped out, so i can even really get anything in there to grab the stud, cant re tighten of course either

whenever it comes to it I bust out a pipe wrench, they grab on studs no matter what shape they are in. They are made in all shapes and sizes and even some really thin ones to get in tight spaces, I can honestly say I've never lost against a stubborn nut or bolt with a pipe wrench, although it usually ----'s them up real good.

jack up on the LCA so theirs pressure on it, should be able to get it off. They fly off with a impact gun

AssHat!!

Yep work's every time.

Minor Threat

I use a prybar but, yeah, that's the ticket!

Cut a slit on the end of the stud if there is a problem. Then you can keep it steady with a screwdriver while you take off the nut.

same here

WTF

cant get a impact at it, its the top one with the curved bar behind it. i just unbolted the ------ thing that holds the top, then my bottom one which i got out before went back in and now i cant get the ----------er to pop out. this is ------ gay

im taking the whole ---- out, it was the last side, i was swapping brakes on 2 cars and it was the last ------ ball joint i was %75 done

the whole knuckle and brakes of the other car is already out waiting to go in , already swapped the other sides of both cars

so not worth the extra 1" of brakes and larger calipers right now..
