I'm trying to get the axle nut off of my '73 Bug (IRS) without the help of an impact gun. I've used Muir's idea of a breaker bar with a 1" x 3' pipe cheater, but have only manged to torque off the socket nub on two bars.
I've poured Liquid Wrench on the nut, I've heated it up with a torch, I've banged on it with a mallet (not on the threads), and I've tried knocking the nut with a cold chisel.
Any tricks that I've missed, or should I just call a mobile mechanic to come out with an impact gun?
Thanks, Animal
