Hub nut extraction

Has anyone taken off the hub nut from a 17.5" wheeh. I tried to today and it wouldn't budge. I had a long handle and 1 7/16 socket, but, no go. I'm thinking about getting a impact driver and the correct socket.

BTW, I'm convinced the reason the bearing failed on the other end of that axle is because the hub nut was put on way too tight. They should be torqued to 140-150 foot pounds.

I had to cut/split mine with a die grinder when my bearing went bad. Regarding why, I found that mine were not torqued properly and were loose. Try contacing Kodiak Brake in Texas for the parts. The thieves at DRV wated to charge me amost double what Kodiak did. You may want to consider putting new brakes and calipers on also, because they will probably be next. Good luck!

Great photo. Looked everywhere and can't find a 1 7/16socket. Ordered one from Amazon. Raining anyway, so I can wait.
Think I'll need a hub puller to get that drum off?

Puller

Bob,

I don't think you will need a puller is should slide right off after you take the nut loose.

As always good camping

Leo,
Great photo! Looks like you got your exercise that day. Did you try any heat? I hate the issue that we owners have to double check everything on these high dollar units. If I ran by construction company this way I would have never made 48 years. Just does not seem fair. Thanks again for the info.

Our mail just caught up with us, and received letter from DRV re: Tire pressure and Wheel lug nut torque. States that for 17.5 rims 125-150 foot lbs torque. Is it going to be a big deal to check them?

Ok, I got the nut off. Now after looking at the brakes, they look like new. Magnet looks new also. Now, how do you keep the magnet in place when you reassemble the drum?

Just a bit of info regarding the brakes. Keep in mind that the automatic adjuster is not infallible. I have had to manually adjust the brakes on my rig in order to make sure there is full engagement so the tow vehicle is not the only brakes on the rig. If you have a brake spoon (inexpensive purchase at auto parts store) it is a simple, but a tedious adjustment. You will have to jack up the wheel to do the adjustment.

This only applies to the drum brakes, Disk brakes do not have an adjustment.
