Hello Kerry, The removal of the axle nut and spacer is not hard, comparied to the stories I have heard about rear axle nuts of the breadloaves. A small breaker bar 18" is what I used with the 30mm socket. I used a wooden block and a hammer to remove the stub axle and CV joint. Bentely calls for lock tight on the splines, so it might be hard to get it going. Mine took a couple of hits and I was almost able to push it out of the hub. The rotor comes off the hub quite easily after you destroy the bolt that holds it together. ;-) I'm still looking for the bolt. FLAPS I have checked only have a few meteric bolts. I have tried hard ware stores and farm implement stores to no avail. Any one have additional sources?
