Subject:Frozen axle nuts
From:Todd Last

If your axle nuts are frozen so that even with a 10ft breaker bar all you do
is snap socket wrentches in two, does anyonw have any tricks?  (This is
actually on an old Superbug)

I've drentched then in liquid wrentch to no help. Tried an impact wrentch.

If I heat the nut with a propane torch will that help? Or should I just try
to grind it off?

Thanks
