Stuck Axle Nut on a Honda Del Sol '93
The Front Driver side axle nut is frozen. I've even tried a 3 foot cheater bar when trying to loosen it. Is there something I'm missing? Any suggestions?

in had the same problem on my ek with that dam axle nut..what i did was that i cut the nut off the top but then again i did not need my axle..you could use a drill bit or a dremel with a metal cutting piece..

did you unbend the notch? i've had problems with them too, and i used a impact off an 8gal 7hp(?) compressor.
i ended up using a torch to heat it up, then using a 3/4inch breaker bar with another 3 foot pole on that.
it was a f**king *****.

LOL, I did this with a 4 ft extension on my friend's car. Snapped the drive on the breaker bar.
