Mike,

If all else fails... I took mine to a truck stop a few mile from my house
where they had a 3/4" air impact drive and it took about 3 seconds and it
was off.  I then tightened it up as tight as I could and drove it home and
then in a couple of hits it was off! :-)

Other success:

        Set the cheater up with the van in the air and let the van down so
the weight of the van breaks it loose.

        Use heat :-( but be careful you melt the grease and have to repack
the bearings.

The easiest was at the truck stop and it was so fast they didn't charge me a
penny.

Good luck.
