Ooops.......I guess this is a perfect example of why you should read everything through before you reply[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
When I saw "axle nut" I assumed the nut on the end of the axle that holds the hub. Thats what I always called the Axle Nut....my bad
Sorry.....never mind me

Tricks for removing stuck axle nuts
Thanks guys. I got it off this morning. Just needed a little more heat on the nuts, and they came right off. They were corroded on there pretty good. I'll probably throw some anti-seize on them when I put it back together, maybe that will help. But hopefully I won't have to do this again for quite a while.

oh boy, thanks driver doyle, i indeed made a pritty dumb comment. i was thinking the completely wrong thing. now that i know what nut i am suppose to be thinking of, i would say get a pipe wrench on it, and then get a regular box wrench and use it for leverage. that will usually crack anything loose

ya u can. just get a really deep socket. or a big crows foot. or just cut the axle down really short and use the gun lol
