no dude...remember? Pry

use a big-ass screwdriver or a breaker bar (theyre small crowbars, if ya dont know)

this pic theyre using a ball-joint splitter (which would work...but Id use the breaker bar)

allllllright. I used a ball joint splitter...ON THE BALL JOINTS lol

but if it works onteh axlessorxx then thats great. Id just rather not be under the car prying as hard as possible with it on jack stands, so i figured pulling REALLY hard might work

no no...see jerking on it you run the risk of the car coming off the stands...and you wouldnt get it off anyways

run (not literally) down your local hardware store and get a pry/breaker bar...they serve lots of purposes...well worth theyre small price)

hehe yeah we got them around. I call them prybars.

I thought breaker bars are the hugeass ratchet looking ones that i used to get my 32mm's off.

I got my 300lb dad so stand on it. Would that be 300lbs/ft of torque to get that ***** off ? he was about a foot from the bolt when he stood and jumped on it lol.

different area, different names i guess

a ft away? nah that wouldnt work.....3ft should...as long as it doesnt slip off

i just pry my axles off. and to take out the 32mm nuts out i use an impact wrench and if that does not work i use a 10ft piece of pipe with my tq wrench.
