clutch hub nut removal

I tried using my air impact driver to zip the nut off. My compressor is only 140 psi. The nut didn't budge. How do y'all do it? Does nut need heat first?

air gun should do it. I run my gun at only 100psi and it is only a 3/8 drive.

I am having no luck removing this nut.

Have you tried adding a pipe or something else to the end of a ratchet to get some more leverage on it?

I'm not sure what the spec is on an E, but I believe the H is 65 ft/lbs. But I think they go way past that at the factory because removing a virgin nut can take some effort.

Impact gun works for me easily every single time.

Thanks for the suggestions, so far. I suspect that my air impact wrench is bad. I just borrowed an electric impact wrench. I'll give it a try tonight. I'll let you know if it works.

Yes...the electric impact wrench removed the nut very easily.

I had the same - huge extender bar with socket, bike in gear and stood on the rear brake. It wouldn't move.......took about two seconds with an 18v impact wrench. Brilliant tool!
