Very strange.  :undecided:

Unless it was cross threaded.

3/4 inch drive breaker bar will do it.

Doubt it's that, they are fecking tight. I literally lifted the car off the axle stand undoing it.

Needs to be a 90 degree, not at all bent, bar and it will slowly loosen.

If it's THAT bad just angle grind the showing threads.

Where all my moneys went.

You tried to undo the nut when the car was on stands?
