I have got to replace the right front hub bearing assembly on my wife's '98 V70. I have loosened the lug nuts and am now trying to loosen the axle hub nut (drive shaft nut) before I put it on on jack stands. I have a breaker bar with half-inch drive and a 36mm socket for the hub nut and even a length of cast-iron pipe for extension. I have been dowsing the nut with PB Blaster all day and still don't seem to be able to break that nut loose. What is the secret to breaking this nut? Will heating the nut with a propane torch help?
Thanks, John
