hey guys im almost finished my swap and i got my river side axle out and now the passenger is being gay the person who did axles last punched the tab in way too far so in my attempt to remove them they became embedded in the spline and i cant remove the nut ,i just broke my 1/2 drive ratchet on it .i tried jumping on my breaker bar(it can fully support me up) ive tried chisseling the tab out,ive tried heating it up with a propane torch and no luck....air air tools a must here or is there some sneaky way i can do this.

Get a bigger Breaker bar...
Other then that, there is no substitute for a good impact

ok i used the 1/2 electric impact and it didnt work im thinking of removing the whole hub so i can bring it to a shop what would i have to take out lower balljoint,upper control arm,caliper.... what else

1) put Liquid Wrench or similar lubrication product on axle nut.
2) buy a 2 ft. CRAFTSMAN non-ratchet breaker bar
3)Go to home depot, buy a 5 ft. steel pipe (the one with the orange plastic covers on the ends that's about 11 bucks)
4) stand on the end of it and hop lightly
5) optional. break your breaker bar and go back to sears where they will replace it for free. I doubt this will happen because I put about 800lb/ft onto my breaker bar using that^ strategy and the thing didn't break.
6) Succeed
7) Do the dance that "aallbbeerrtttttt"'s avatar is doing

I've had the same problem, here's how i did it.

1" drive + 32mm impact + 8ft steel pipe + my fat *** =

I didnt really have a problem breaking it loose, I'm 6'5" 240lbs.
