Ok, I'm trying to get the damn hub nut off of my car.. I don't have any airtools to start off with. So far I did get that little rcimp out of the outer ring that secures it in place. I broke a 18" breaker bar, and bent the shit out of another 24", and still that little P>O>S is not budging. I need some advise.
pleeeeaase help!!!!!

i know it may sound strange, but pour some coka-cola on the nut and let it soak in for a few mins, then use your ratchet/breaker bar combo again.

are you talking about the castle nut? so you took the cotter pin out right. why don't you get some good tools that don't break like craftsman, snap on etc. even if they do break, you get a new one free. just get the breaker bar and put a metal pipe on it, i just use the jack handle, for leverage and step on it with your body weight. if it doesn't come off then, its not coming off.

Since it's been September since you posted this problem, I'm gona believe that you already conquered this problem. If you haven't for gotten it off in 2 months, then I suggest you get a hacksaw and cut off the entire hub. Then take that hub and pound it on the ground several times while yelling obsenities..
