HEATING SHOULD MAKE A GREAT DIFFERANCE, but with propane little heat is gained ( it will take a while ) and is effected by the outside temp. A good hot nut some liquid wrench( it is flammable!!!) IF NERVOUS GOTO local Goodyear explain issue pay 1/2hr labor for them to loosen and retighten, then undo at home with regular means. Hope this helps and good luck. From: Todd Last <> Subject: Frozen axle nuts 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? Daniel Stevens Business Systems Specialist
