For te life of me I cant get this thing off.

Ive tried breaker bar with 30mm socket.
Big azz crescent wrench.

I keep hitting it with penetrating oil, still not budging.

All Ive succeding in doing is fawking up the nut some, so before I make my situation hopeless, Im waiting for you guys' input here.

Any tricks to getting this fawker off?

Id like to have it done tonight before work. (gotta start gettoing ready in about 1.5hrs) but I do have another car I can take if needed.


lemme know what you think might help

not enough room to get a hilift handle over a socket wrench is there? i cant remember right now if there is enough room.

hilift handle is my fav. tool

doubtful.

Im already using my 1 1/2' breaker bar...

I think I need to try and heat up the case carefully.

Only way I see it coming out as of right now.

When I do get it to stay on the pitiful 1/8" bit of nut grabbing room, im torquing down on it pretty hard (or at least as hard as I personally can) but its a no go.


Granted im not the biggest guy in the world, but it seems if i continue at my rpesent rate ill have a rounded off plug and no way to get it off.
