This is hoew i easily removed rhe front axle nuts, torqued @ 175 ft pounds.... my torque wrench maxes out at 150 ft/lbs.
So i was dreading removing that spindle nut.
Once the spindle nut is off 3 bolts hold the bearing unit and axles.
This may be all over U Tube, idk, but i didnt do an exhaustive search.
I used a 6x6x9" tall cedar block as a foundation for a simple tire iron. I wedged the tire iron between the lug nut bolts to keep the front hub from turning..
Then i used my 25" long half inch drive breakover and the cheater bar is really 1/2 of my floor jack handle.
The spindle nut requires a 36mm socket. I pushed down on the bar setup and it came loose withouth much protest.
Edit: just reverse the setup for tightening; and spin the lug nuts down all the way so the bar sits against the lug nuts. Great suggestion @b0xcar
