well i took my 2.0 motor out without th tranny, i then poped the tranny out and left the axels bolted into the hub. i put the new motor botled to the transmission in and was able to slide the driver side axel back in (seperated at the joint), now the passenger side axel is still connected at the hub but other end is right below the where it needs to go into. my other neon i took out the bolt in the center of the wheel then took off the spindle and did it that way but i can NOT get the center bolt off, i used and broke a socket with 4ft pry bar and a impack gun it still hasnt moved an ince... anyone have suggestions? this is the only thing now keeping my car from hitting the road

 

Well if the impact gun wont take it off try putting some heat to it. Heat the nut...not the threads. That will sometimes break it loose.

What brand impact gun and how much pressure is the compessor set? Not to say you have shitty tools but not all impact guns are not created equal. Plus make shure the compressor is set to run at the guns recommended operating pressure. Most guns operate at 90 psi.

Good luck!

 

it is a pos electric one but its all i have. after the nut is off i have a small rust problem on my undercarrage the car came from NY, im almost considering unbolting all the motor mounts and picking the motor/trans up and then pick up the axels and try sliding them in as i lower the motor back in
