You're almost at the point of just breaking the studs off. If that happens to me on a bolt, I soak it in PB Blaster, then hit it with torch, then spray it with Freeze Spray right after. Then I use a 1/2" drive ratchet, and a 4' piece of metal pipe. Worst case scenerio is you break it off and need to punch in a new stud. Another reason to use anti-seize on threads. Good luck!
I've never seen a left hand thread on a pinion. They are normally very tight. We use a half inch air impact wrench to take them off. An alternative would be to hold the yoke with a large pipe wrench and turn the nut with a socket on a long breaker bar. You can even use a pipe as an extension to the breaker bar
itll come just use a bigger diameter hose and higher pressure. You can use alil heat if your replaceing the hub and bearing but i still wouldnt recommend it.
i used a 1/2 18 volt impact wrench.i got it from snap on.it took the axle nut like it wont there.your axle nut torque is 232 ft lbs.that a lot of torque. you have to replace the axle nut and the circlip on axle shaft.
put car weight on wheel. i have use a electric impact wrench.those drive axle is on there.they have up to 170 to 180 ft lbs torque.make sure you are using 1/2 break bar and 1/2 socket made for the axle nut.
If you are referring to the axle nut on the end of the axle shaft, you may need an impact wrench, or make sure to bend the nut back (straighten out the bent section), put the car on the ground with the wheel on, and use a breaker bar, with a 3 foot piece of pipe attached (cheater bar) to loosen it. REMEMBER - some of these are reverse thread, if so you will have to go clockwise to loosen and CCW to tighten, thus, you MAY be tightening it - check the thread on the end of the shaft to tell you what way to turn the nut - if it still won't come off then you may have to use some heat, and/or chemical penetrants, but make sure you are turning it the correct way first...
It's most likely right hand thread. You will have to use a large breaker bar to get enought leverage to remove this nut. Or you can use what ever you have and place a steel pipe on the end of it for extra leverage. If it doesn't budge, you may have to soak it in penetrating oil, and use an impact wrench. Make sure you remove the large washer under the nut "before" you remove pulley.
