Getting the nut off the hub

[losinit@usa.net (Cathy Boyko)]

This is the Jetta again, sorry, but it looks identical to the Scirocco's,=
 so
we can pretend, can't we?

Anyway, my son soaked said nut with penetrating fluid, and used the big l=
ong
pipe for leverage, and still can't crack this nut to get the axle off, it=
 just
won't move. Lefty loosey, correct? He tried heat from one of those small
torches, but what other ideas do you folks have? (I think my brother's cu=
tting
torch is next) We don't have air tools, and the car is pretty immobile as=
 it
stands. I guess he broke some bits trying to drill/grind it off, it must =
be
very hard. He had it off about a year ago, so it can't be totally rust we=
lded?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. =


Cathy, for my son
