Went to machine mart, bought impact gun, no joy. Put a bar accross the studs and got all three neighbours to stand on the subframe while i forced on a 12ft piece of scaffolding pipe attached to the wrench and all i did was lift everyone off the ground. I really dont know what to try next.
David, you said that i dont need to remove the hub nuts? dont i need to remove the hub to get the driveshafts into the rear hub carriers? Either way i would like to remove them just to put new bearings in. Does anyone have any further suggestions? im getting pretty tempted to start the grinder up or try and find an industrial nut splitter..... Cheers nathan

The hub carriers have 4 bolts that come out with the driveshafts (as you'll know lol). The full driveshaft can be slid through the back plate of the drum then into the diff, then the 4 bolts just tighten onto the roadster's uprights.
Once they're on the car, the hub nuts will be much easier to loosen.

Do what I said. When u stand on the length all the torque goes to the nut.
I've used that disc with the box welded on with stub shafts not attached to anything, drive shafts, the car etc. It works correctly! Steve

only problem is i have drums, do you think it would be posible to do it by bolting the box section onto the wheel studs? im not bothered about them bending or snapping cos thier relatively easiy to get out.

does not matter that they are drums just put the disk on like a wheel.
