axle removal

How in the heck do i get the axle nut loose?? I unstaked the nut from the groove and sprayed the heck out of it with wd-40 and it wont budge. i am using a breaker bar and broke almost everything i could find to get more leverage. please give me some advice/tips on how to get this thing off -thanks

I used to have someone stand on the brakes and then used a 4 foot pipe over a breaker bar and that'd got em off pretty easily...make sure you've got that groove nice and clear..you'd be surprised at how much a teeny bit of metal will hold you back

ok, i am gonna go to honda and see if they will help for free, if not i am gonna get a 4 foot pipe, the only thing is there is a screwdriver tip stuck in the groove (broke it trying to unstake it, then just used a hammer and another screwdriver to unstake it) the groove looks good and the screwdriver tip that is in shouldnt be stopping it (i hope) and it is very weak anyway and will break if it is stopping it. Well off to home depot or something. -thanks man

BTW, is it bad to leave it in gear while doing this??
