How to get the rear axle nut off on Ford 8N?

sten · Apr 5, 2013

Locking clip ring is off but how could I get the required torque to get the 2" nut off without the the 1171 hub and stud assembly turning around?

Thanks in advance

A 3/4"" impact wrench, even a good 1/2" unit, will zip it off in a few seconds.

I put a bar between the studs and wedged it against the ground then broke it loose.

Last resort: put the wheel back on, let the tractor
down on it block the wheels, set the brake put it in
gear, and get right after it with a long cheater.

Block the tires, put it in gear and have at it with a long cheater bar. Those are torqued to around 450 ft/lbs or should be

Thank you all, I followed Bob's suggestion and off they went, in fact i used a little heat as well.

Thanks
