They do vary between cars. Some are easily shifted some aren't. Correctly fitting sockets and a long lever are the option I choose.

got the bastard !!!!!!
turned the torque wrench to max which in end was 850nm :rolleyes:

and the #### came loose :):):)



all that just to change the cv boot lmfao ,oh well never mind done now and NO GARAGE CHARGES thats a winner from where im sat :)

put the nut back on and set it to the correct 400nm
job done

MOT TOMORROW :(:(:( lets see how bad it fails!!!!!!! i no it will as i forgot to change windscreen wiper blade ,but lets see what else they find
 
Yeah when I first tried to undo mine I split my socket. Then I broke my breaker bar. Changed to my reserve items...... Said a few nasty words and off the bleeding thing came. God knows how tight it was though!
 
I try to use sockets that are for air ratchets they are much stronger for that sort of thing, I have broken many ordinary sockets in the past.
 
I only had a regular 32 mm 6 side socket available at home at the time. I then used my old halfords pro 12 sided socket and the bloody thing coped with it. Then I saw arronmorris on good ole landyzone was selling some sockets so I got a set off him. But the britpart driveshaft I fitted at the weekend had a 36mm nut! The only 36mm tool I have is a spanner which is no good for hub nuts. So I have been forced to use the old nut until I get a 36mm socket.

as long as you can stake old nut i wouldnt worry

I'm not worried it's just that it has done up to sort of the same place and where it was staked before it has split the metal which hasn't left much to knock in again... I have seen much worse before and I am sure I will again! I just wanted to use my nice new shiny nut............
 
Had a quick mess around with hand break this morning, adjusted it up

had a retest and :):):):):):):)

all pasted , so mot this year cost me NO £££££££s:):):):):):):)
