This Hub Is Pissing Me Off!

[Joel]

cmon tntmstr, i know you can help me out, your looking at this thread right now

[slowvo]

a real impact wrench and a good compressor.

[Guest]

Heat it up if nothing else, use a blowtorch like previously mentioned.

[amicheze]

sledgehammers work wonders in situations like this...

A side grinder with a cut off wheel would work great... cut off what you can at the angles you can then get a grinding disc and grind it down until the bolt is free.

This was the method of choice. I ground it down into a square and used a chisel and hammer at every corner.

I worked a total of 6 hours on my car today and managed to get the 2 axle nuts off, and 2 of the 4 screws holding the caliper to the hub. Why do i even try! grrrr

[dubbsy]

this is the reason there will be no more Northern cars in my "toy" collection. Winter does wonders on hardware (and everything else)

[treimche]

I would say to take it to someone that knows wtf they're doing, so that it doesn't take 6 hours to get 2 axles nuts and 4 screws out. Just my $0.02.

[Joel]

I know wtf i am doing, i just really dont have the proper tools in my posession to do it as easy as someone with lifts, a good compressor...etc. Most of my shit is standard, since my dad doesn't believe in imports, he didnt buy me very much metric shit for christmas. I'll git r dun eventually. Maybe i can interest you and nick in building the frame, and finishing the wiring for me? i have to check by funds, but I would like to give you guys some some business.

[slowvo]

i agree with troy

[Joel]

I got a little further today...




Took all of the front suspension parts out. Motor will be coming out tonight or tomorrow morning. hoepfully i will be ready to start building the frame soon!

what car? this is a gokart fag!

[slowvo]

again i agree. if someone has problems taking off 2 nuts, how are they going to be able to fabricate everything to get this project running?

[Joel]

they were rusted on since 89. the only thing i did wrong was wait to long to take the grinder off the bench and cut away. I am not fabricating the frame, everything else, i am very confident that i should be able to do.

[92TSIpos]

Ill be doing all the fabrication on this thing. If you doubt us then you will have to wait
