hi
i searched a bit for this but didn't find much so.... sorry if it's been covered.
i'm trying to get the axles shafts out of my full float rear, and the cone washers are not budging. i've soaked them in penetrating lube, and hit the stud with a hammer (via brass drift) but nothing is moving.
a previous mechanic put on some non-factory nuts/washers which seems to have peened over a couple of the washers, i suspect they are now an interference fit to the thread on the stud.
so, what are the last resort methods for getting the cone washers out? they don't seem to respond at all to verbal assault.
also, like most of the rest of the axle i presume the cone washers are the same as the front axle. where is the best place to get replacements?
