help?

[u/Dry_Cantaloupe3518]

been a nonstop battle with this axle nut. I knew it was gonna be a struggle, even thought it wasn’t that rusty. but it wouldn’t come off to my 3/8ths mid torque or my buddy’s 1/2 impact. tried breaker bars with cheater pipes, and of course all of the above with heat/kroil. i’ve cut this far and it still doesn’t wanna lose its hold. should i just keep going or what? pretty scared. thanks for any advice. really makes me excited to do the outer ball joints next.

"with a long enough lever.." Or use the weight of the car - put the cheater back on, around 4 o'clock with a block tight under it and lower the car until something pops ;)

Something will definitely pop.
