    Axle Nut on My 350X is frozen up Tight!!! Ideas?

    I tried to tear my 350X axle and swingarm down today to no avail. The right side axle nut will not come off. I even tried using a 2ft cheater pipe. Wont budge. I put all my weight on the pipe and it still wouldnt move. (285lbs). Any ideas? Should I try and heat the nut up real hot and then try to get it off. I have soaked it today with penetrating oil multiple times. Will do it again tonight and let it sit overnight. Anyone ran into this problem. I normally can get most stuff off with my $200 Dewalt electic impact wrench. Its pretty stout. I have broke a wheel stud off with it on a truck. It wont cut the mustard. Ideas?????

    I might add that this is the axle hub nut.

    Does the 350x have a left-hand thread like the 250r? I don't want to offend but are you turning the right way?

    My bad, sometimes I can't read. I doubt that's left-handed. I was talking about inner and outer lock nut on the alxe. Good Luck

    No cater pin in there. They both came out with no problem. So far I havent found anything that will put enough pressure on it to turn it. I will give it a try again today.

    Yeah, Let it soak in pb blaster, spray the shiat outta it. And then try taking a longer pipe, and doing it.

    Thank the lord, its off. Whew!!. It took an impact socket on the end of a 2ft break overbar, with a 4ft pipe on the end of it to break loose. Oh and 285lbs of me laying on the pipe. LOL. Dang. Well I got it torn down. One bearing was SHOT. It was in multiple pieces. The other was shot, but all together. Carrier wasnt damaged. What a day. Thanks guys.

    The funny part is, I usually have trouble keeping them tight, they always come loose on me. Well, I'd rather keep tightening them ,instead of going through all the work to get em off
