Default Removing rear hub nuts from axle-kfx 700

Cannot remove left rear hub from my v-force. I have used an inpact, soaked nut with pb blast, breaker bar with 4 foot pipe wrench all to no avail. What gives and does anyone have a solution. Stumped in hilton ny.

they are really torqued on tight from the factory... I'd recommend throwing it on a trailer & hauling it to truck stop or truck tire place with a high power impact... otherwise a bigger breaker bar... just make sure you are spinning it the right direction ( I was able to get my rear hub nuts loose, but not my fronts... so I understand your frustration )

You could heat the nut with a torch, but i would only use this as a last resort. I had to do this to a Griz. But who cares about those yamahas [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] .

The hubs have permenant locktite on them and need to be heated up first.
