The axle nut is rusted on the axle spindle, prohibiting from removing the axle to have access to the transmission for removal of the clutch.
We have tried heating the nut up, and using a large soccet with a pry bar, with no luck.
Help, my clutch need changed and we cant get to the first part of disassembling it.

Hi there,

If the car is still drivable, go to a tyre retailer who Will have 3/4 & 1" air impact guns, get them to back them off and just nip them up by hand and re pin them to get home again.
