Clean the area around where you plan to work with a rag or coarse brush to remove any debris in your way of tightening the nut.

There are many different tools available so depending on what kind of vehicle you have access to this step can vary greatly from person to person. Some examples of items needed would include a socket set, an adjustable wrench, a breaker bar/torque wrench, a strap wrench, or just some pliers.

Step 3: Thread Removal

Now that the nut is clean and you have identified your tools, it’s time to remove any rust from inside the threads on either side where you will be working with an item such as vinegar.

If there are still rust spots present after this step, then repeat until they are gone. Once all areas appear clear, move on to tightening them up.
