Stuck hub lockring….help needed

[SantasLoneCruzer]

Help needed undoing this…..WD40 and brute force isn’t doing much. Hub needs servicing (m737 rear) but can’t budge the lockring, much corrosion as you can see.
Thoughts on undoing this, is heat the next option? If no good, I “may” have to angle grind the outer lock ring off……hopefully not.

vice on the locknut, spanner on the other end of the axle (if you can get on the cone then do, if not, so be it, one of them is coming undone either way, you'll get a better spanner on the other lock nut though). cheater bar and a gorilla.

Cut it off.

Leverage should sort it out.

If you have a vise secure the nut at the other end and use a cheater bar to multiply the force, keep applying WD40 too.

'Vice on the Locknut' is my porn name

Anyway, you have the proper cone tools I hope?

Plusgas. Lots and lots of it, for a long time, then as much leverage as you can get.

I saw you most recently only fans......

Try the other side. If you can get that off, you can pull the axle through and out. Makes it easier to get tools on and/or soak in penetrating fluid like plusgas. Wd40 isn't very good as a releasing agent.

News update, it’s removed, I ended up cutting it off successfully - no other parts were harmed, just the non drive side locking nut. It now explains why the hub has apparently never been serviced……I’ve cleaned and will rebuild, but not sure how serviceable it is - new m737 hub may be required
