Trying to tear down my rear brakes and suspension to start a rebuild but I have hit a stone wall with the hub nuts on both sides. Are these things torqued with a 3ft cheater bar or something? I have already tried penetrating oil and heat cycles. The threads are not rusty nor are the nuts. Nothing is rounded off..... yet. Is there a secret here or what?
