Help... Axle Nut Stuck

Ok first time posting here so be easy...
So im doing uca and lca bushings and i was going to do cv boots but i cant get the axle nut off.. soaked it in oil and broke a breaker bar on it ( it was a 1/2 inch ik i shoulda been using a 3/4 but still) also tried heating it but nothings happening...

 

Righty tighty lefty loosey?

 

Try an impact. Or put a 3/4 breaker bar and hit it with a sledge

 

Tried either way. Still nothing. Tried heating and impact. Only went to the breaker bar cause the impact wasnt working.

 

Give it some heat.

 

Holy crap I was joking. Call a buddy with wrenching experience it shouldn’t be that hard

 

Man i have some wrenching experience. It shouldnt be that tuff..
Im just thinking about cutting the nut and getting a nee one

 

Have you taken one off before? It does take some elbow grease! Especially if rust is involved

 

Havent done this before but have seen it.. no rust either.

 

Having a nut stuck sucks

 

Impact wrench, should zip right off.

 

True

 

Last one I had to take off that was a struggle (98 expedition) I had to stand on the breaker bar to get it to move the nut. Once I got it turned just a hair the rest was a breeze. I bet you someone couldn’t get the axle to seat and hammered it in with the nut on it.

 

Unless it is a brake line fitting

 

Thats what i was thinking

 

6 point socket - 3/4” is better. But a good 1/2” should do.
3/4” breaker bar.
Quality 3/4” to 1/2” adapter. (Cheap ones will snap of Inside the socket)
Go to a hardware store and buy a pipe that is large enough and strong enough to place over the breaker bar. That should get it to move.

 

Man I live in a rust state and my axle nut wasn’t too bad to remove earlier this year. I wonder if the threads and nut are galled. Ran into that on a friends Subaru once, what a pain.

 

Spray with PB and let it sit over night. Use your jack handle as a cheater pipe on the breaker bar. If that doesn't work something is wrong.

 

Put the tire back on, put it down on the ground, chalk if so it can’t budge and then try to remove the axle nut. It’s torqued to 173 ft lbs so it’s on there right but I’ve changed mine on the side of the road, so it shouldn’t be that difficult for you to get off
