[KURO]

Thanks for kind tips.

Today I spent 2 hours with no luck. I bought 5/8" dia x 6" bar and welded 1/2" drive male adapter to drive the socket. I run out of O2 can again (another $10 up in smoke) so had to try without heating up the nut. Still I was about to bend the bar so I quit.

I use propane gas and O2 w/ my portable torch. I saw map gas in the store the other day and knowing little about it, I wonder if it is hotter? Any other option for more heat? Also I'm using Valvoline synythetic lube to penetrate through the rust. Should I get something else more effective?

I'm thinking more toward cutting the darn nut and done with it. What would be the damage for an used stab axle if my hand gets too sloppy? Probably I could have easily afford it for the money I spent for some materials and broken tools....... It's just a part of fun, right?
