Castle Nut issues

[mustard95tsi]

I've searched and seen the other threads pertaining to my issue but it seems everyone had a little more luck than me. I can not remove the drivers side or passenger side castle nut. I don't have access to a impact gun but have a 3 foot cheater bar on a 1 foot 1/2 breaker bar. I've used pb blaster and WD40 with no such luck. any suggestions? i was debating going out an buying a propane torch to see if that gets me anywhere

Put a piece of pipe or a jack handle over the handle of the breaker bar to extend the bar to allow for more leverage. Its nice to have someone push the brake pedal while you break the nuts loose to prevent the axles from rotating as well.

yeah I have a 3 foot piece of pipe (cheater bar) but with no luck. I have to wait until this afternoon to have someone apply the breaks for me while I give it another go. unless i go the propane torch route.

Itll go for sure when someone holds the brakes for ya.

When trying to remove my brother's castle nut, we actually had to jack up on the breaker bar to loosen it. We sent the breaker bar below horizontal and put the jack pad under it, close to the end (but not all the way at the end). We then jacked it up slowly until it gave.

That's actually what we just tried. that and a little help from a propane torch and it gave without much hesitation. thanks for the input!
