Hi all,

Have a 95 Q--hit on left rear wheel. I know I have bent tabs on my sub-frame and some bent parts.

But I can't get the big wheel bearing nut off. 33mm. I've got about 6 foot of cast iron extension and it just won't break.

any body have any ideas? Thanks!!!

Impact wrench, no question.

My guess is breakaway torque not less than 235Nm. 6ft bar = 2m, 117N of force at the end of the bar 4.45lbf = 1N. 520lb of force on the end of your bar. If You've got one really huge a$$ you might get it to budge. This is a job for a good impact wrench.
