ok guys I am trying to replace the wheel bearings and I cant get the 2 1/16" hub nut off.
I bought the huge socket from AB.com to get it but it just seems too tight. anyone know a special trick to get it off? the washer behind it is bent but unless it is welded to the nut that shouldn't be a problem, but I will try to straighten it out a little more.

just wasn't sure if this thing is supposed to be so tight

 

You need at least a 32" breaker bar. Harbor Freight has a 32" 300lb torque wrench that I used to get mine off. I had to stand on the end of the wrench and bounce to get it started. You probably need a bar or wrench with a 3/4" drive our you will bust it. On the DII it is a 1 1/4" or 32mm nut not sure about a DI but you may want to get a metric socket. Harbpr freight has big cheap ones. Mine was from Sears and it was $20 for one socket.

 

Last time I did a wheel I stood on the end of a 3/4" drive breaker to get the hub nut loose. There's always the BFH method too. Big Friggin' Hammer

 

ok I got the hub nut off but now I am having trouble removing the brake caliper! I see the bolt and it looks like an inverted torque bolt or something, does anyone know what size socket I will need to remove this? or am I even looking at the right bolt? it looks like maybe a 14mm 12 point might take it off but all I have in 14s are 6 point sockets and they dont seem to fit on it.

I see 4 other bolts but it looks like these hold the 2 sides of the caliper together?

well any help is greatly appreciated as I have to finish this soon

 

Those bolts are internal torx (or external, I forget how they refer to those). I don't have those sockets to fin out what size they are.

 

Brake line - 11mm - torque - 15nm
Caliper bolt - 13mm 12pt. - torque - 82nm
Rotor mounting bolts - 14mm 12pt - torque - 15nm using Loctite 270
Drive flange bolts - 17mm - torque - 65nm using Loctite 270

 

jobs done guys! thanks for all the help, I hope I did everything as I was supposed to (don't want any more trouble with it). I took it for a test drive and all my vibrations were gone!
