gotta take my axle apart to replace some bad carrier bearings.....but the inner axle nut is siezed. I've tried every trick I know-got it cherry red w/ a torch, blaster penetrating oil, pipe wrenches, 26" breaker bar w/ a 4ft cheater pipe-the ***** aint moving and yes I know its left hand threads.

Anything else I should try before I cut it off and replace it?

when you heated it up did the axel turn as red as the nut, chances are the nut is made out of lower quality metal just torch it off

heated it up again this morning-found a longer piece of pipe finally broke it loose thanks

Good deal

Dang that seemed like way too much effort, but at least you know your nut would never come loose during riding.
