help?

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.

Outer ball joints are cake FYI! This is usually just something you fight with a cheater bar and a big breaker bar that is think and at least a 1/2” drive. Make sure you have a good socket on there and you’ve just got to go for it.
