Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any ideas on how to remove the rear main hub nut on 996 C2, used impact wrench, wd, heat etc....no joy

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ignore that! Long bar and lots of sheer grunt and its off! The offside was much easier!

POST 3Original post

Congrats! I bet you feel rather smug. I know I would. ??

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ha! I can't believe how bloody tight it was! surely doesn't need to be that tight, thought I was going to have to grind it off.

POST 5Original post

breaker bar plus scaffolding pole and large weight. They need to be tightened up this tight as wellwhen finished

POST 7Original post

Nut torque setting is 340 ibft or 460 Nm i.e. 50lb sack of spuds at a distance of 7 feet from the centre!!!! so you need a long pole to stand on.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was definitely the large weight at the end of the bar!!

POST 9Original post

so was I. The only time I was thankful for the mars bars

POST 10Original post

Remember using a large bar and scaffolding pole when I removed mine. Had to jump up and down on the end of it as I broke my torsion bar due to its loading which was half that required.

POST 11Original post

Just wondered how you are going to tighten it up again Maybe worth a visit to your local garage/Specialist I have got a really big Socket 36mm I think that uses a large breaker bar - bought it for the FRont Socket on a quattro engine!!

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Its a 32mm nut, fortunately I have an impact socket and my friendly local garage have agreed to lend me the correct torque wrench for the job when I need it!

POST 13Original post

Don't confuse it with the nut undoing the hub
