Spindle Nut Problem
I can't get my spindle nuts off my axels. I broke 2 Craftsman breaker bars and i tried an impact. No luck. Any ideas? I have to get them off before my motor gets here!

first of all how big is the breaker bar? what we did in my friends hatch was to put 3 in 1 multi purpose oil on it and use a breaker bar with a long as extension on it (a iron piep will do fine) and put brute strength into it.

i used a like a 2.5-3 ft breaker bar w/.5 in. drive and bought a axel nut remover for my honda. set it parallel to the ground and jumped on that bitch 
no problem after that. try having someone hold down on your brakes, preferably someone pretty light if your car is jacked.

Yeah my friend was holding the brakes and the axel wasn't budging. Yes we uncrimped the nut. Tried and impact with 150psi. I've tried eveything but heat and im counting on that. We put pb blaster and wd 40 on those bitches. The breaker bars WERE about 2 and a half feet long with a piece if 6 ft exhaust pipe on the end of it. You could see the breaker bar bend before it broke. I've never seen any spindle nuts as beast as these!
