If you think you need a new CV Axle nut, they usually come with a new cv axle, however you can also purchase them separately if a must.
INSTRUCTIONS 📋:
Soak the axle nut preferably overnight with a half mixture of Automatic Transmission fluid also known as ATF and Acetone. Place a soaked steel wool, napkin or cloth on the axle nut, and place the wheel cover cap back on if possible.
Next grab a 32 mm socket (or your acceptable socket for your vehicle) and breaker bar and start loosening it. If it doesn't feel loose, you can apply another coat and/or heat it up with a torch to help break loose the rust.
Once the axle nut is off make sure the nut and its threads are still in great condition. If not then replace the axle nut with a new one (see supplies above), otherwise screw it back on the axle end by hand at first.
Then use a socket with a ratchet wrench to tighten it.
Finish torqueing it to 157 ft. lbs or whatever the manufacture states for your vehicles axle nut.
Hope this video guide helped and that you save money 💸 and do this simple under 30 minute job yourself.
