Castle Nut on Hub

[jesseweaver]

with the nut that holds the hub on, how did you guys get it off? i tried everything and it wont move. it isnt reverse threads is it? it should be metric right, because i cant fit a 26 on but a 27 has a little bit of play. any suggestions?

They aren't 'reverse' thread and the stock ones should be 27mm. They are torqued to 101+ ft. lbs so it'll take some muscle to break them free. Assuming the cotter pin is removed? No pieces stuck in there?

A length of sturdy pipe on the ratchet should help.

no the cotter pin is out. ill try the pipe. ive been jumping on the ratchet though and it hasnt moved.

Time for a "cheater bar" or impact gun, It'll come off. You might want to get some heat to it as well... When you do get it off make sure to apply anti-seize compound so that it'll come off a little better next time.
