Well fun and games.....after the high speed clutch dump my son did on my 92 LX, and replacing the DOHC and Transmission, the passenger CV/driveshaft is history.....

I have my replacement cv/driveshafts, but only one problem.... I have broken (2) 1/2" pull bars and still not able to remove the staked nut from the end of the shaft.

I tried using a hand (strike) impact tool (a waste) and the jack handle on the 1/2" pull bar, no change, its there until I take somewhere to have someone put an air impact wrench on it.

Has anyone replaced their cv/driveshafts and How have you been able to remove the nut ....

First post, first question,

 

Try slipping a 2 foot length of pipe over the end of your wrench. Thats how I had to do mine.

 

OK, tried a 4 foot jack handle.....
bounced on it for awhile....
still no movement.....
strange.....

 

I guess yours is just stubborn. Alot of people have had the same problem, maybee soak it with some WD-40, go have a beer, then try again. Mine was hard to get off but eventually did.

 

Yeah, sounds like a plan....
Strange though, bought the car new in 92,
drove it 5 years, 150,000 miles
Son-in-law drove it for 3 more years, took it somewhere and had the cv/driveshafts replaced .
I replaced struts,
All in all, other than a few parts replaced, and oil changes its been a great car for 11 years.......

Well anyway, I'll let the liqwrench work overnight, revisit it in the morning...

 

mmm, cutting torch time
peace

 

Did you pop up the little indented part of the nut...
If you don't pop that up it won't want to move..
also the imact wrench that was used before hand may have been to strong and made the bolt so damn tight...

I had to heat mine up with a torch. Make sure you use anti-seize with the new parts.

 

I'd use a dremel with a cut off wheel, before a torch....be sure to use synthetic lube when reassembling.
