But darned if I can get the nyloc nuts off where the axle flange attaches to the differential. Of course I'm on my back with a foot or so of room to; /html/6pack/2003-10/msg00347.html (7,354 bytes)

You can get the box end of one wrench on one side, and maybe the box end of the other one on as well, if it is thin enough. But you do have to wiggle a bit to; /html/6pack/2003-10/msg00348.html (7,822 bytes)

I recall that a box end 12-point wrench was very useful on one side and a open end wrench on the other. The box end keeps; /html/6pack/2003-10/msg00350.html (8,629 bytes)

RE: Removing rear axle (score: 1): Author: "Hugh Barber" <tr6nut@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2003 21:04:05 -0700; They are nuts and bolts - nothing "wierd" (although they are high-strength fasteners). You can (carefully) fold the gaiter inside out to get it out of the way. If you still have the brake drums on,; /html/6pack/2003-10/msg00351.html (8,060 bytes)
5. RE: Removing rear axle (score: 1): Author: "John North" <jnorth@novagate.com>; Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2003 12:32:40 -0400; Tried the open ended wrenches but it was real hard to prevent them slipping off and knocking the flats off the nuts. So I went to plan B which worked great and also had the advantage of a pleasant wo; /html/6pack/2003-10/msg00366.html (8,381 bytes)

Re: Removing rear axle (score: 1): Author: Timothy Holbrook <tjh173@yahoo.com>; Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2003 11:23:21 -0700 (PDT); I've done this job a few times, and I agree with you that it can be a bit tough to remove these bolts when laying under the car - it's kinda hard to get good leverage. And on top of that, the nyloc; /html/6pack/2003-10/msg00372.html (8,785 bytes)
