Tried to pull off the rear axle nut - the big one with the cotter pin. Soaked it in pb blaster for a day and then used the 445lb. impact wrench - full power wouldn't budget the nut. Applied heat with a torch and still stuck. Other than cutting off the nut - both sides - any other suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Bill
