Can't get my passenger side spindle nut off
Hows it goin? I've tried for two days to get my passenger side axle spindle nut off my truck to replace my ABS hub assembly. I've broke 2 - 1/2 inch drive ratchets and a 3/4 inch drive breaking bar! I've doused it in WD 40 and motor oil, even tried heating it with MAPP gas... nothing. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Put some heat to it, get it pretty warm, then give it a few squirts of PB Blaster while it's still hot. You may have to do that more than once. It'll come off. When I did my '97, I did the above, and it still took a 3/4" drive breaker plus a 3' piece of pipe. HTH

I had the same problem and took my craftsman breaker bar for an exchange after it bent, i took it about a mile down the road to a auto shop, paid the guy $5 to loosen the nut with air, and then i tightened it back with a breaker bar...problem solved.
Drivers side only needed the breaker bar.
