problem :-/
 
i noticed when i was driving and i hit my break, the front right tire did not stop, it just slowed down realllllly slow (almost like the "break" wasnt working), so i was going to take off the tire to try to see whats wrong, and now i cant get the tire off lol, i took tires off before ut this one, the dogbone is spinning when i turn the nut, what should i do?

Sound's like you rounded the hex, or didn't get it back onto the drivepin. Grab the dogbone with needle nose plier's and pull the nut to investigate.

Hold the opposite tire and the drive while loosening nut.

Or the spring cam out. If the spring didn't come out, the dogbone broke, or the wheel got rounded off. I bet it was the spring or wheel.

Can something be wedged into the outdrive? Something must be stripped/slipping inside drive if the dogbone is still turning. Anyways maybe a few more hands and hold tire/wheel at a bind, hold dogbone with serated pliers and then another hand on the nut?

THis is why I like cvds, much easier to take the wheel off.

You need the little pin. Unless you really crank it on there, you need the pin.
