I gave up....  I dont think I'm ever gonna get the sprocket carrier nut off my M1100 without the aid of a rattle gun.  I huffed and I puffed and I sweated and I swore... but theres no way I could get that nut loose - even using a 3' breaker bar   ???[bang] ???

that sounds about right.  ;D

you can try to apply heat via propane if you dont have a rattle gun. just dont aim it at your chian.

tried spraying some wd-40 or brake fluid on to see if it loosens up? This works... [thumbsup]

do you have a hand/manual impact? Those nuts are on there with 156nm, IIRC. Heat should help, try some WD40/PB-Blaster/Liquid Wrench, but i have found that a good 'snap' of force to the breaker bar or socket/wrench helps break the stuck nut loose.
With a breaker bar, apply pressure to the nut to the point that the breaker bar stops flexing, then, a good old fashion heave to 'surprise' the nut with real brutish man-power.
this doesn't always work, but i have had success. This is similar to how an impact wrench works.

good luck,
RB

Find a 6' pipe and put it on the breaker bar.

In this instance, don't "surprise" the nut, as you may destroy the breaker bar ;D

If you continually add more and more force the nut will start to loosen.

I broke my breaker bar in this fashion.

As I am too lazy to take the thing back to Sears, I just TIG welded the drive nub back on the yoke ;D

Still works to this day :D

I can imagine this is the most satisfying method when it works, being that you both outsmart it and overpower it at the same time  [laugh]

I used a 6' pipe on a breaker bar to remove the rusted rear axle nuts on an old VW bug.  It flexed, groaned, and then finally let go.  No damage to anything but it was a pretty scary process.

Harbor Freight has an electric impact wrench for $39. It produces 240 ft-lbs of torque. Very good investment for those tight nuts but much less spectacular than a 6' cheater bar on an exploding ratchet wrench.
If you can remember the Sixties you weren't there.
