    cant get tecate locknuts off

    I can't get the locknuts off the axle. Are they reverse thread or what?

    Anyone else have any input on whether or not they are reverse threaded?

    Soak in pb or wd, walk away, get a buddy and pipe, spray it again for good measure, put the pipe on the handle of the ratchet. One pushes and holds the ratchet, the other pulls down on the pipe.


    If that doesn't work try cursing at it and setting on fire a wee bit.
    If you can't fix it with a , its an electrical problem.

    Might have to heat up the nuts, then spray them down with PB while there hot, that usually helps alot.

    clean the threads real good , smack a few times with a BAH to break any bonds. PB and heat are great. Huge channel locks worked pretty good for me. In a manual I read it said sometimes you just cant get them off and have to split them. Good Luck!
