any suggestions for removing a tight warrior axle nut
take a big pipe wrench and put it on the axle on the side with the RIGHT wheel, with the handle on the floor, so that when you try to break the bolt loose, the wheels wont spin, (they will spin even if in gear and brake on) now heat teh bolt up with a torch (map gas is hotter than propane, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] now take your mama luke pipe wrench ("24) with the fence post (i had to use the same thing) and position it on the nut and with a buddy pushing down hard on the grab, break the **** loose. Dont take your tires off before you get the axle nut off, break the axle nut loose, then jack it up and remove wheels, hubs, etc. if you try doing it on stands, it'll be much harder and you risk knocking it off the stands..hope this helps

The inner and outer nuts will bind against each other to the point where they get stuck together. That's how they are supposed to stay tight.....try tightening the inner nut a tad, to break the lock,then loosen the outer.
Ooops - upon reading the post again I assumed both nuts were still on - right ? If the outer is already off, ignore me !
