I think the suggestions for removing the nut have been pretty well covered.
The gingle that I was taught is "if it glows, it goes". Heat and
leverage/power are the keys. For anyone else looking for a 36mm or 46mm impact
socket, Napa is usualy a good answer.

Subject: [tcb] axle nut--tech advice
I am trying to break/loosen the axle nut on the 67. I had a really hard time
finding a 46mm socket, called everywhere I could think of in Austin and Harbor
Freight was the only place that carried one. I tried Austin V-Dub, Sears,
Lowes, Home Depot, Snap on tools and a few more. What I really wanted was an
impact socket but the one from HF is not an impact socket and is 3/4 inch
drive. So I got a 2 foot breaker bar, and still no luck. I know I have some
weight to put behind it but this nut could have been placed 40 years ago. I
tried advice from the idiots guide and still stuck.
Sammie claims this is a one hour job to replace an e brake cable, maybe you
folks know some tricks. Any advice is a help.
