Cant  remember the socket size but I used a 6 point impact socket with 
impact  
wrench and it just spins right off. You may be able to get it with a  
breaker 
bar but someone will have to apply the breaks. But that might not  work if 
the 
bolt is tight enough and they usually  are!



I can't  help myself to respond to this one although my response will  have 
little merit. YES, for removal of those big nuts up front on various TR  
motors an impact wrench is nothing less than "the best thing since sliced  
bread". Believe me I know for during my years of Bush League or Shade Tree  
mechanics I have attempted all variants of alternative methods with little or 
no  success to get those off, usually resulting in a busted knuckle  or two. 
Really, with an impact wrench you can have it off and in you hand in a  few 
seconds. Never forget the first time I tried it. OH so way cool. I  also 
have used one to torque the nut back on!  I always wondered  about that?  Not 
sure if it is proper but that is the way is for  me.
