searched on the forum and couldn't find any tips & tricks for removing the 30mm nut that holds the driveshafts on the rear hubs. I've been using some Liquid Wrench and PB Blaster with no luck. Thought about using a MAPP torch to heat the nut but but I am worried about catching grease on fire or frying the bearings.

Anyone have suggestions?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Rich is right. Look at the thread about the poor guy who mushroomed his drive saft in his tranny. The same will happen if you dont use a soft hammer/drift. If it is really stuck, IMHO, you might as well kiss the bearing good by as you will need to heat, beat, and repeat.

Did you try taking the bolts out of the outer CV if all you are trying to do is remove the axle?
