Ok folks, I have tried heating up the nut with a propane torch and the sucker still wont budge. I checked to make sure the threads werent reversed. What can be holding this sucker on like this? Any more ideas or hints? Thanks
 
Havn't seen your previous posts but here's what I think. Try an acetlyn (sp) torch much hotter. Or can you get a dremel with a pencil attatchement & just cut it about 3/4 of the way then whack it with a hammer and chissle.

One of those hand held torches won't heat it up hot enough . You need a axceytelene with a rose bud tip . Heat just the nut until red should come off with just a rachet . Another thought use a impact and the same time wack the yoke and maybe this will break it loose .
 
This is a good enough exuce to buy a impact-driver. I think that's what they are called. You put in the bit's or socket's and a good smack with a BFG will rotate the nut.
I love mine. Got it 1 month ago and reach for it all the time when working on my 88.
