Crashtd420 Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 I still don't understand the need for 250ftlb on the nut but atleast I have a way to remove it.... I first punch marked the nut and hub to hopefully put it back on at the same torque.... This was the recommendation to prevent the wheel from spinning while removing the nut... bolt an angle Iron to the hub..... with a large cheater bar.... I had 46 mm wrenches for my atv so I put them to work.... c clamp keeps them from spreading.... Needed a little extra cheat.... This side was starting to leak too so I'm glad I had 2 on hand... pads and adjusters were fine after a healthy bath of brake cleaner.... Just need the wife to help bleed the system and she should be back to driving.... 3 Quote Link to comment

I have a friend with a Sunbeam specialty shop down in San Diego, and the Alpines and Tigers have a similar spec. He has an 8ft piece of tubing that he keeps just for removing that nut. It usually requires more than one person leaning on the extension just to break it loose. Freaks me out everytime.. 2 Quote Link to comment
