Subject: removing rear axle nut

Hi there:

Looking for articles on how best to remove the rear hub/axle nut on my 89 Westy (2wd) to install some longer studs for a wheel upgrade. If I recall this is one of those things that requires a huge amount of torque, and specialized equipment. I searched on the Samba, I came up with 150 pages worth of info, so I guess I did not enter the information into the search engine correctly. I had forgotten how to do a search on the archives here. Could someone please tell me how to do that? I had a link bookmarked once upon a time, but now that I need it, I can't find it.

Thanks!

Troy
