Hub nut issue, urgent

[Wobba]

Maybe drill it off? Reckon heat will help?

[schakal]

No.

The wheels are not turning. The shaft is not turning. It is locked in place.

The nut is spinning anti-clockwise, as if threaded.

I am replacing the driveshaft and CV etc. I need to get it done today. Obviously, with it spinning in place I cant take it off and re-use the stub axle.

wtf do you mean the nut is THREADED of course .

[Wobba]

The nut, holding the driveshaft to the stub axle, is threaded. This means, it just spins, because some twat has ruined the thread on the end of the driveshaft.

If you are not sure what I am saying sckhal, just don't worry about it.

try getting a lever at the back off the nut and apply some pressure then while u do that try and undo the nut the pressure might allow the nut to pick up on some threads and undo hope ur sucessful and its just the nut that is bollocked

[Wobba]

Well, Im drillling now.

I did think of applying force from the rear but access is nil as the sleeve from the hub/stub axle is in the way. I can try and force the stub axle down the splines to give some pressure though.

2 nutS? ive never seen that before... I'm guessing whatever turd ****ed it up when they put it on put a second nut on to keep things tight then.

you could try pushing the driveshaft but you might as well just continue drilling. good job you have a replacement really.

Yea I think I have seen 2 nuts before but I think you're right: someone has bodged it in a previous life and stuck the second one on to secure it. Neither were tight.

Drilling is taking ages. It's a badass nut this one. Thing is I am shagging the thread on the end of the driveshaft, lucky I have a new one
