Im Diesel Mechanic.
Apparently I don't own enough metric wrenches.
Does anyone have a trick to getting this damn castle nut off?
I cant seem to get enough room to use a wrench and i don't have enough space to get a socket on it.
You just need the right sized wrench. Sadly I have already forgotten despite doing it a few months ago, but both the link Kennith posted and Jonathan indicate 30mm.
I had no problem removing the ball joint once the nut was removed.
I used a breaker bar to get it loose. Then drove around with the nut loose and a pin in to keep the nut from falling off. when I got home it was loose!
I haven't seen one, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I just replaced this a couple of weeks ago. A 15 ton press couldn't budge the joint.
