yeah this is a bitch.
1. make sure the car is on all 4's and pull the ebrake up
2.and get some one to push on the brakes
3.Get some wd-40 or PB blaster and soak the nut.
4. then use a your breaker bar with a huge *** pipe
5. go to town on that nut.
be prepared to break some tools
and put this in the right forum!

IMO, a strong impact gun (usually over the 90psi limit) is the way to go. Im my case the first time, getting the axle splines out was the hardest part.

Damn.. I must have posted how to do this on at least 5 different threads.

Easiest way is to get an air compressor and a good impact gun.

Pump up the pressure to the max (I usually go to 140+ psi)

Make sure your gun is properly lubed, and that you are using a real impact socket.

Sometimes I use WD-40 or deep-creap or what ever, let is soak

Blast it off!

I've tried other methods, and all I did was break tools, or put skid marks down on the pavement.
