think a dremel would cut a spindle nut?
the ones that are at the end of the axles... i got the one side off fine... i am on day two trying to get the second side off and i am gunna break out the sledge hammer soon. so i was thinkin of buying a dremel or like tool to cut the f@#$ing thing off....
any input is super

What have you tried so far? Have you tried holding a propane torch on it for a few minutes? Then use a long extension on the back of a breaker bar (4 feet of galvanized plumming pipe on the back of a ratchet/breaker bar) to give some really decent leverage. Should come right off.
i don't have a torch... i have a breaker bar and some penatratinf fluid...can i take the whole hub/knuckle thing off with the axle attached? then i could take it down the road to a shop with a gun...
long pipe to go over the breaker bar should do the trick plus a 100 pound weight on the fender of the side you are working on....i used my GF for that...who said they are good for nothing

another thing you may want to check out... when you're putting the nuts on, you're supposed to use a punch to punch a little piece of the nut into a groove so that the nut doesnt un-thread itself and come off. if you take a punch and punch out the little tab on the nut again, it should be easier to take off then. Not saying it'll work for sure, but you may want to try it if you havnt gotten it off yet.
punched the little part out first thing... i got the stupid knuckle off now but the axle is still attached. i fugure if i take it to a shop they can hit it with a impact gun..through if i could cut it with a dremel or something i may not need to do that..
I've got a 2ton floor jack with about a 4 ft handle that comes off. Before I had a compressor and impact wrench, I would just slide that handle onto my 1/2" drive craftsman ratchet. Did the trick every time.
