Axle removal
I'm tryin to take out my passanger side axle but i've broke 3 wrenches now. I'm just wondering if i'm twisting it the right way, we're going from the front bumper up towards the back bumper on the passanger side. Am i going the right way?

Should be doing right, might just be that it is stuck tight. Try some rust removal or something and try to use a air compressor for more power.

Dude i think you are using some weak wrenches or putting the all your strength to the wrench hence breaking it. miguel6632 has a good idea. try it and be carefull. It may not look hard but you might pull something. Have FUN!
USE THE FORCE!!!

1/2 in wrench? That's not metric so that could be part of your problem too.
