its a hub nut, just use a big breaker bar, try it with car sat on floor

sorry for seeming thick lunner but 2 questions....

1)whats a braker bar?

2)how do you mean on the floor? i've only got it jacked up on the rear axel, with the wheel off obviously. the other 3 wheels are all on the floor.

pop the centre of your wheel out and then lower the jack, fix 30mm socket on and use large bar to lever the socket round... a breaker bar of 20+inches will suffice... if your struggle go tp the gym or use a piece of scaffold over the pole cheers

Its a standard thread mate, I thought it was a reverse thread for some reason.

Anyway, you need to make sure your rear wheel is on the ground while you just loosen the hub nut (not too much mind lol) and then jack up the car and remove the wheel again, then finally remove the hub nut and you sorted.

Oh and this is a makeshift breaker bar, bit of tuff tubing over your wratchet handle should suffice

Car doesn't need to be on the floor for the reasr as its on a stub axle, and the stud axle is fixed
