The axle is probably the only foreign item in the wheel well. Would some wd-40 be ideal for this? Like I said, most everything is coming off like its never been removed. If this hub is so tough to get off then I'm screwed haha. And why not a Honda?

I'm also going to check out an engine from a junkyard. Has 36000k on it (or so they say.) Anything i should do or check specifially with the engine?

Prybar = powerbar, handle extension etc.
The nuts are big, and usually put on with lots of torque, so they needs lots of force to undo them.
The ones on Hondas are put one with even more torque than most other makes, and usually need more than human force to undo.
The ones on your car should be undoable, just don't expect it to be easy
