Any pointers on how to take it off?

It’s rated at 210 lbs of torque. I tried attaching a torque bar to it, but it seems to be RREEEAALY tight.

Thanks, but it doesn’t say very much about the axel nut.

Any other pointers other than use a torque bar?

Should I go get a impact rench?

Not really, besides an air gun. Mine was on tight too. Just took alot of swearing and yanking to get it off. But air gun is the inly other option.

mine were real easy to change, fortunatly it’s becuase i have a 1" ratchet thats made for taking lugs off of transport trucks.  
Isn’t it nice to have all the toys?
