Hopefully someone has been here before, trying to get nuts off of spindles on an old 6 foot pull behind mower. The nuts are rusted and worn out, the 15/16th socket turns freely on them, the nuts are rounded from years of use. Do nut breakers work well? These are 15/16 nuts, hate to use a torch and damage the spindles.....any body have any other ideas? Thanks for your help guys, you have got me out of a tough spot before.

use a torch lots faster we'll have bearing go out on the disk from time to time we always torch them off. just slice it down each side take a chisel (while its still hot) hit it presto right off.

I use a Dremel tool with a cut off wheel to remove some recently. Just cut as close to the stud as possible I used a pipe wrench on it after the cut. The metal that was in the threadspulled apart allowing the nut to spread and it unscrewed easily.
Hope this helps

I find a Dremel tool with a cutting disc works
good for that type of problem. Cut down almost to
the threads on opposite sides then use a chisel
to split the nut.

yes the nut breakers work. you can accomplish the same thing with a cold chisel and hammer by cutting toward the threads at what used to be the flats of the nut. If you have a small air hammer this is an excellent tool for this task.
