Default Need help removing axles

I'm trying to remove my axles but I'm having a very hard time trying to get the axle nut loose.. I tried using a 5.5 hp 8 gallon air compressor and still nothing ?

those sometime sieze right up get somone to mash the breaks in the car to hold the rotor/hub from rotating and heat the ---- out of the nut with a torch make sure the car is safley supported on jack stands and use an impact socket with a long breaker or johnson bar. Put all your wieght into it or even put a cheater bar from your jack over the bar to make it longer to provide more torque. If that fails you will have to take it to heat with an oxy/acetalene torch to provide more expansion of the nut or last but not least take a grinder and slice the nut in half just obove the threads and then it will be thin in that spot then heat it and remove with a impact socket over the remaining sides of the nut. Good luck to you.

$25 at CTC. Get a breaker bar and if needed a pipe to go over for more leverage. It will come off this way. Trust me you will need this braker bar forever. Your compressor/gun just doesn't have he power for this one.
