NEED HELP WITH AXLE NUT
sooo I'm doing a diff and axle swap and need to take off the hub/axle nut but the nut is held on by the hand of god... I broke a big breaker bar, and a giant torque wrench (i know its not the right tool but i thought i cracked it loose when i broke the breaker) so heres my question, what do i do to get this thing off... i use aerokroil, (its insane stuff, i highly recommend using) but that didn't work for me lol i used a 25inch breaker and 5 foot bar and nothing. my car was in park and the ebrake on, i am curious if this may have something to do with it. am i missing something? i can take it to a shop i work at for heat but only want to use the torch as a last resort. any help is appreciated. thank you

Reverse threaded? You can stop the earths rotation with a 5' cheater pipe

Maybe this helps? Like you said, heat as the last resort.

4b. For vehicles equipped with the high performance brakes (Brembo) proceed to step 4c. All other vehicles proceed to step 4g.
Note: DO NOT place the drift or flat bladed screwdriver against the bottom of those vehicles equipped with the high performance brakes (Brembo). Damage to the bottom cross over tube could be damaged causing brake failure. 4c. Insert a drift or large flat bladed screwdriver (3) in the cooling fins of the brake rotor against the brake caliper (1). 4d. Place a clean shop towel (2) between the drift or large flat bladed screwdriver (3) brake caliper (1). 4e. Using a breaker bar (5) and the proper size socket (4), loosen the wheel drive shaft nut.

It would be better to have a impact gun. It should go with a breaker bar though

Have a impact. Didn't get anywhere. Silly question, is this by chance a reverse thread ? I don't think it is but I'm lost lol

Ok! So one last thing kind man, should I keep the car in park or neutral? Should I keep the Ebrake off or on?
