Back at it again! This time, with a 36″ cheater pipe.
Also, I anchored the car a little better to keep it from roll starting on me.
A few more rounds of heating and torquing, then the inevitable happened.
It was apparently too much to ask of Mr. Goodwrench. R.I.P.
I never did get that axle nut off, but luckily a friend was able to. With a proper garage full of proper tools and being a proper man, Dave was able to torch it up to red hot, then torque it back and forth with his 1000 ft lb air impact. We tried it with the impact before the torch and it wouldn’t budge in either direction.
FINALLY, I will be able to get that brake rebuilt.
