Default Moto 4 80cc Axle Nut Stuck - Hints for removing?

I have a late 80's yamaha moto 4 with some stuck axle nuts. I need to get them off to replace the rear brakes.

They are rusted tight like you would not believe. I have tried liquid wrench and heat. Hitting them with a hammer to knock the rust off...everything!

Any ideas on how to get them off? There are two lock type nuts and they just won't budge.

Thanks, Troy

I can send you a picture if you want to email me at...... tadavis00@hotmail.com

Try using some PB Blaster let sit for a few minutes, this has always worked for me as long as the nut is not cross threaded.

Thanks. I used some more liquid wrench and WD-40 on it. Knocked the heck out of it some more and finally! Off it came. Thanks for the info. Cheers.
