axle nut welded on how do i remove

[crxjarred]

ok if i was to try to remove this nut what are ways i can do this without damaging the axle to much i have a thred file that i can fix the threds so just dono where to start

[Mike594]

Buy a new axle and hubs??? Worth doing in my opinion. Would be a nice upgrade too depending on what you got. Why the hell did this guy before you have to weld this nut on anyway?

[crxjarred]

yea but im on a buget and i have to do some other things to the bike to get redy to hit the trails

[Homerx]

Grind off the weld or heat to molten an twist off the nut.

[crxjarred]

ok i could grind it till it gets realy close to the threds and just put like a 10 ft pole on the tire iron and bread the rest off or i can bring it to school and use the torches there but wouldnt this like mess up the size and stuff since it would molten

[Mike594]

Or... you could do both of what homer said. Grind as much as you can, then heat it up and twist it off.

[Homerx]

Keep you flame small and just heat the welds. If you know someone good with the torches they shoud be able to blow off the weld only with the O. I have cut mufflers off without touching the tail pipe inside. GL

dosn't really matter welded or not welded.cut weld if you need to.cut it on both sides of the nut,use a chissel to help break it in half.

[crxjarred]

yea didnt think of that lol cus i had to do that on an exaust manie to get the nuts off i could try that first and if not hit it with the saw zaw untill it gets close then hit it with the chizle
