removing whole axle/knucke. engine swap. Help me plz lol.

So i made a post earlier about trying to get my engine out. sigh... anyway im in the same damn position. I couldnt work on my car for a while because i had to go work... I just wanna know if I cant get these axle nuts off, is it possible to just remove the whole axle/knuckle and do an engine swap like that? Ive done my research and people say do it, but i cant find any instructions on how to do it with the axle/splindle nut still on. (hopefully i can get a dremel tomorrow, if not. . . im screwed) oh yeah, the car is immobile and the stakes on the nuts are lifted.

take the axles off. un mount the engine and then pull it it out.


Apply heat to the axle nuts then use an impact gun to remove them.

Apply heat

What hex means is that, after all the heavy lifting, this^ will help to relieve muscle pain.

imnot talking about some lighter type heat man, you need to f***ing turn those nuts red. then zap em with a nice gun. Attached to a f***ing heavy duty compressor. About 100 gallon.

thx, seems pretty straight forward in my head but, do i just go about removing the axle regularly besides f**kin with the axle nut? or is there gonna be more to it?

and ill aply heat to my pain, seeing as how im doing this by myself lol.

take a screw driver, stick it in one of the little slots thats in the rotor, rotate rotor till it hits one of the caliper braces, take a breaker bar and a piece of pipe then use that to break those suckers free. works like a charm

^That'll work if you don't have air tools. Always remember when gettin s*** off it's not strength you need, just leverage haha. Heres some help.
