Default Axle Nut Woes!! :(

Oh the pain of changing an axle!!! My passenger side axle needs to be replaced. Upon taking off my uber jdm rota center cap i notice my axle nut was stripped to hell.

By the looks of it there is no getting it out besides some how cutting the nut!!!

Any ideas on what will get the job done? Car needs to run by tomorrow!!!

Thanks in advanced,

Mondo

I used a cold chisel to get mine off.

another thing to remember, if you get the nut off you are gonna need a new axle nut, which might be hard to find on a sunday.

Good luck
