I am sure the more experienced mechanics know this trick but it was a
new one for me and so I want to share it. To keep the axle from turning
when loosening axle nuts or axle flange bolts simply put a screwdriver
in one of the cooling vent holes of the disc brake. It will become
wedged when the axle has some torque on it.
