Guys, can you tell me whats the best way to remove the 22mm hub nut on the rear axle? I understand thats all thats stopping it going round is the transmission?... so is it safe just to use a breaker bar to crack it off?

Cheers

You'll need a long breaker bar to undo it, it's tight (184lb/ft I think). Don't forget to undo it with the wheel on the ground (don't ask how I know). Easier alternative is to use an air wrench if you have access to one. Presume you have CV or wheel bearing problem if you're taking the nut off?

Thanks for the qucik reply! Good point on leaving the wheel on the ground... thanks alot. Well I am going to be swapping my turbo rear arms for NA ones... in order to get a wider 11" wheel under there. I am just in the process of getting all the bits and pieces together first before going ahead!

It is torqued to 490NM or about 339ft/lb

thanks- actually just checked it up in the manual as well.
Hey Geoffrey do you think I should change the bearings as 19 * 11J wheels will be going on NA bearings? What bearings did the racers use with this setup, if you know?
