Going nuts with a wrench buster

[jeeppapa]

Having a hell of a time getting the large hub nut off. Have tried PBR, busted my brake-over bar twisted a monkey wrench, tried using heat with a hand torch using Bernzomatic MAP/PRO GAS. Even heated it up for 15min and threw cold water on it. That would give it a rapid expiation and contraction rate and possibly break it free. It was a no go. Any ideas would be appreciated. The truck has 136,000 on it and the hud is grinding. Thanks

Impact.

 

Or a good breaker bar (3/4" drive or larger) with the proper 36mm socket.  Smaller stuff gives too much and takes the shock out of cranking on it.

 

Or a slugging wrench and sledgehammer.

Keep heating and Beating, good luck.

Heated it up again and threw cold water on it. Put the other break-bar on it. Went ahead turned it the opposite way to tighten and l herd a pop. Put the impact on it and alternated with reverse and forward for about 45 seconds. It finally broke lose and spun off. Wow what a relief. Going to apply some anti-seize on this puppy. Hope the other sides not like this ordeal. Thanks for the input. I

Anti-seize is good. Just remember that anti-seize qualifies as a thread lubricant, so reduce specified torque by approximately 20 percent.

Copy that
