DeWalt 1/2" drive electric impact wrench is your friend. If it can't get it off...you don't need it off. :)

I just picked up a DeWalt 292 electric impact wrench during the fathers day sale. its rated at 345ft/lb so this should be enough to remove the nut. I will find out soon as my steel socket comes in.

Which model did you use?


If the dewalt can't hack it, i'm going to try this next: Link

let's us know how the Dewalt works out, For $150 on Amazon, that's less than 2 tire changes.

I have the DeWalt DW290 1/2" electric impact wrench. Have used it to change wheels on the 1199, clutch basket nuts on all sorts of bikes, countershaft sprockets, etc. Anything where you need some serious grunt to get a nut moving in the right direction. Makes taking the wheel off/on the 1199 a breeze.

Make sure you use sockets rated for impact wrenches. Some sockets out there will break from the hammering. Steel only. I have a set of hardened steel sockets I bought (individually) from McMaster-Carr when ever I needed one for a particular application like flywheels/clutchbaskets/etc.

Got me a manual tire changer and it has paid for itself in less than a year. Only downside is that everyone in the area is now my buddy and comes to my house to have their rubber changed.
 
I finally got the drive side off... First had 1 Person on the bike with foot on the brake, me and another guy leaning on the rear tire and a guy pulling up with a breaker bar.. Broke the socket... Went and bought a $70 electric impact gun, borrowed a speedymoto steel socket, took the rear off the rear stand with it held up with my chock stand, in neutral, impact took it right off... :)
 
Yea, you have to put a block of wood in the wheel like a propeller, and use a 4' cheater bar to get it loose from the factory. It's easier to manage with a longer bar and less force to get the torque.

Just to follow up: I just took the wheel nuts off both my panni and monster today to fit some new mods. The dewalt electric torque wrench popped them both off with ease. It's worth the $150.

I got a air impact wrench with working rating of 260ft/lbs won't touch it....

I could be wrong but I believe working or 'nut busting' force is usually MORE than the amount of actual torque that the tool can generate. Example, my dad's IR air impact wrench has a torque output of ~800 ft/lbs but the 'nut busting' force is rated at over 1200 ft/lbs.

So, if that's correct then the 375 rating on your wrench might really be less than advertised.
 
F u rear wheel on my 1199. It took me 30min to get this bitch off. I first started w/a breaker bar, no joy. Then locked down the rear brake w/breaker bar, no joy.

So, I fire up the air compressor, hooked up my craftsman professional and hit it w/that, no joy for 20min. I had to ensure it was powerful enough, 500 ftlbs reverse per craftsman so i kept at it, only letting it impact for 3-4sec at a time so not break/crack anything.

Finally, 30 min later it came off. Not sure if god and hercules put this nut on but jesus, never had anything like that before.

Even confirmed before i started i had 320 nm whatever to torque it to as that is nuts what it needs to be at.

Anyways, if you have basic tools don't even bother, you'll either break them, your hand or f up your rim/nut.
 
An impact wrench would have made a world of difference. It would remove it in seconds and you won't even break a sweat.
 
it is an impact wrench, sorry if i mis-typed. but i don't have the cheapest one and its never had a problem w/a nut until this rear wheel nut. i could see it "impacting" by the socket name going back and forth quickly.

not sure if maybe something wasn't set right but the gun says in reverse the power is set to max, in forward it has 4 gradual power settings. air compressor over 120psi and the whatever the other setting is at 90psi. nothing more i know to increase power wise than what it says to set it at.
 
I have used the Speedy Moto version for my 848 and will purchase the same for the Pani. I also picked up a Dewalt Cordless Impact Wrench, 160 ft.-lb., 18.0V and used that with a 1/2 inch adapter.

Worked well with the 848 and I had no marring of the axle nut but also used blue painters tape around the socket as well.

The Dewalt moved the nut with zero effort.
 
Just removed the rear wheel from my pani for the first time. I read through these horror stories and was told to buy an impact wrench, so I did (Milwaukee M18 from Home Depot). I'd never used an impact wrench so didn't know what to expect. Had my bike on both the front and rear stands where it seemed quite stable and pulled out the wrench and was gonna see what a bitch this job was gonna be! Couldn't have been easier! I'm not even sure if I had to use the rear brake or not, but either way, the wrench did its job and made it a piece of cake. I guess it's all about having the right tools...

I also used the TPO rear nut tool which did the job flawlessly...

I had a hard time taking mine out too. But, it was just because I used an extension bar and seemed like the socket kept slipping off the nut. Took the extension out and it came right out with just a regular wrench and a short tube as breaker bar. :)
