Cannot loosen front spindle nut 2007 Prairie 360
Trying to remove the front axle nut (hub nut) in order to change the wheel bearing on my 2007 Kawasaki Prairie 360. I've tried a 1/2' air impact, 1/2" electric impact, 4' cheater pipe with a 1/2" breaker bar and heat from a bottle torch. I cannot get the nut to budge. It doesn't look like it has ever been removed. The repair manual makes no note that it is left-handed so I'm assuming that it is right hand threaded. I don't want to cut the nut off as I would probably mess up the axle threads and have to replace the CV axle assembly. Plus, I hoped to use the ATV this weekend.
Anyone run into this before? Any suggestions? Is this perhaps left-hand threaded (would need to know for certain).
