CV axle nut really stuck, need help asap!!
It isn't on a DSM but I figured someone might have a trick. I have tried propane and mapp gas to heat it up. I've broke two 1/2" drive ratchets. Bent the crap out of a cheap cheater bar. Shattered the head of a thicker cheater bar. An electric impact didn't do anything. Used lots of pb blaster.
I dont have air tools and really dont want to fork out $150 to buy acetelyne and oxygen and rent a torch. Does anyone have any other idea's? I'm stumped. |

Breaker bar with 5 foot thick long pipe should do the trick.

I tried that and it snapped the 1/2" drive part at the socket.

Take a die grinder and cut the nut.

I will have access to a full shop tomorrow that has an oxy- acetelyne torch and air tools. So I'll see if that helps. I currently have nothing bigger than 3/8" that isnt broken from various attempts haha.

I had a stuck axle nut, broke my craftsman 1/2 18" breaker bar, got warranty replacement because of an obvious mfg defect, got a new one plus 5' extension pole and got the nut off just fine.
Good luck. |

Careful with the Oxy torch, I use a MAPP torch and it works good. Throw some heat at it and then grab the impact and off she comes.
