I can't remove the bolt from the cv axles. I have removed the notch on the bolt but the bolt still didn't move. I've even stood on the breaker bar and the bolt didn't budge but it broke the breaker bar.

I assume you are talking about the large nut on the end of the axle right? You have knocked back the locking of the nut on the keyway? I assume that you are replacing an axle. I suggest spraying on some solvent to free the nut. If that does not work then a couple of sharp raps with a hammer might loosen the thing. There is always the question of whether you are using a 3/8 or 1/2 inch drive. Must use 1/2 inch rachet.
