i cant see how undoing the nut will damage a thread?forget 1/2 tooling, there is too much flex. Get a 3/4 setup and it will come straight off. An impact gun will do it if its a propper one. a cheap sealey with small compressor wont touch it |

when putting the s16 engine a few years ago in my car and removing the old hubnuts it bent the thread on the shaft, with a big 3/4 inch breaker bar and length of cage tubing. so smashed the shaft out, assumed to be dodgy shaft. same thing in opposite side with bent thread doing the same thing. never had the issue using impact gun, had it a third time on silver 6 i broke for spares (had no impact gun handy), so shafts were uselessjust saying. would only use an impact gun now anyway. that said i have used a cheap one and it's done it fine but took about 10 goes can't win em all on forums it seems ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

When you finally get this off make sure copper slip gets added to the nut to stop this problem occurring again. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

Welshpug does have a good point regarding the torque wrench.  If these are torqued up to the correct tightness then they shouldn't give too much grief on removal.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Good luck, let us know how you get on...I can't see you having any issues now you have a scaffold tube to be honest. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

My rule of thumb is if a 2 foot breaker bar doesn't shift it without flexing the bar, I give up and borrow an impact gun. I know from past experience that if it's that tight and it's bending a bar then you will either shear the knuckle, or take the skin from your own knuckles when going face first into the floor. ________________________________________  |

However, I don't think you would shear the knuckle if it was 3/4 drive.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Not surprised, looks like a wobble extension. They can't handle as much torque as a normal extension due to the waisted portion. You could use some 3/4" drive socketry for things like this. ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.
