Heat nut with torch - then use an impact gun.
I use a pipe wrench. Monkey wrench might work well too.
Heating the nut would help too, but I'm sure you know that.
What's worse is when you get the nut off but the pin won't move.
I still have an entire 8N front axle with radius rods attached because
I havent' been able to get those pins out. When I need it, I'll drill/bore
them out. It's the only one I've had that was set up this tight.
In any event, if they're in bad enough shape to require a torch
they're usually so rusty that they're worn thin. I replace them.

Yea I could have already had them off but in no hurry... I was Just wounding, BTW they spin. I sold the axle two cheap its worth $50 to take the damm thang apart and install a new bushing I should have sold it as a complete axle and let him fight it...
I still thing I can hold'em and I do like making tools... Waist of time I know :wink:
Royse, when I needed to take the wish bones (radius) bars off two Model A axles. I beat the hell out of it, used heat, PB Blaster, etc. I could not get them out. I was going to drill them, when a guy told me to use a center drill to spot it, then use a air hammer & PBBlaster on it. They came right out!
Something to try.

If I had not had so much other stuff that I have been putting of to do I would not had been in a procrastinating mood... :lol: I could not come up with a way to make this job FUN
OK its apart I could not come up with a way to hold'em did not see were I could make a tool that would hold'em other than to waist time making something that was not going to work. I heated the nuts cheery red my impact still would not break the nuts free (pin spins) SO as they cooled down I used whats becoming my favorite
loosener. Stick wax. once cooled I think you could have taken the nuts off with yer fingers...
Glad you got it apart!
Good to see that I'm not the only one who procrastinates.....I mean to busy to get to it.
Good old stick wax. Yup, heated up, and cool it down with wax. I do the same also using BPBlaster, or tranny fluid & acetone mix, it sucks it in.
I use stick wax when sawing aluminum with a 3-5 tpi wood saw blade, from 1/16 to 6" thick aluminum, it won't load up.

Hot part melts the wax, wax flows between parts and lubes... Its like anything else hit and miss when it does work, works great.
