I have replaced the cv joint on the drivers side but i cant get the axle nut off of the passenger side to replace the cv joint. I have tried heating it to get it loose and used a cheater bar but it won't budge, any ideas?

Hi there, these can be extremely tight, if you are only using standard 1/2 " drive tools, you will be pushing it to undo the nut. All i can suggest is to put it all back together again, drive off to a tyre out let and get them to loosen it with a 3/4 impact gun, just have it nipped up and re pinned just to get you home.
