- I used a 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone (you could see the rust slaking off);
- then 15 seconds of propane torch on each of the 6 axle nut points;
- then a 2-ft breaker bar with a 2-ft extension (3 ft total); and
- then stood on the extension holding a 50-lb toolbox (I'm 185 lbs).

Eventually (about a minute), the axle nut gave away. Same for both sides.[/list]
