Default hub NUT @%$#

Welp. Working on the gsr swap as of now. Got all the wires and hoses out of the way. Got one hub nut off.. Went to get the other.. Damn thing wont budge. Tried breaker bar > no go
Tried This thing where you hammer it and it rotates the socket > no go
Tried hammer + breaker bar > no go
Tried fat friend + breaker ber > no go
Tried breaker bar plus long ******* leaver > broken breaker bar
Tried same as above again > broke breaker bar # 2. ( god thanks for craftsman )
Bought Air compressor and tried impact gun > no go

now cars being towed to local auto shop where they have the big guns and compressors. There doing it free of charge, but the towing is costing me 65$

take it to a shop with a air gun of a higher power rating perhaps.. and bust it off, and put it back just hand tight and drive home slowly.

I had the same problem, one came off easily enough, the next would not.

Nothing a torch couldn't fix!

While PB Blaster is pretty good it can't tackle every job. I soaked mine with it for a week and it didn't seem to help. I drove the car to a shop who spun it off with a big impact gun.
