Squirt the cricket piss to it and let it sit overnight. Or mild heat from a torch.

I've also been know to just cut nuts off with a grinder wheel as long as you're careful. If it's an actual bolt head though those are alot harder to fix if you cut the heads off and I don't recommend that.

What a thread title!The thread title brought me here. :chuckle: my input... good luck. I have stuff on my truck I couldnt undo so it still needs fixing, but cant get the bolts undone. Its been like that since 2011 its fine I am sure, exhaust systems are over rated.

Old school is heat and apply bees wax. The heat draws the wax into the threads. I have had that work when penetrating oil failed to loosen things up.
That's interesting. I'm going to keep that one in my back pocket to try next time.

You should not heat that pinion nut or cut or anything else these people are suggesting. It should come off with an impact. The nut and pinion stem should be marked to get same pinion bearing preload when reinstalling. Too loose or tight can cost you a rebuild and that aint cheap.If it is indeed the pinion nut you are talking about, :yeah: Get a good impact gun and an air compressor with enough cfm for the impact to work properly and it will come off.

I usually just keep adding length to my breaker bar, it is amazing how many items you can daisychain to extend your breaker bar, LOL

Atf and acetone, torch, and use a large pipe wrench to hold the flange while air impacting the nut off.
:yeah: put a chunk of wood/pipe under pipe wrench as need to hold pinion. Cheater pipe on wrench helps - need 3/4 inch drive on the trucks.

Obviously he has not reached the required minimum of bloody knuckles yet or it would have come loose by now.Love a good daisy chain

YouTube has videos for most projects anymore and with some common sense you can weed out the crappy video mechanics.

Soak the area in Kroil and come back the next day with a tool long enough to get good leverage. It will come off.This plus a heat gun

DO NOT use a impact here, you may lose a tooth off your ring gear.

You obviously were not trying hard enough then!

Probably not a Dodge. :twocents:
Pretty sure I cleared our inventory of Dodge Ram rear pinion seals a time or 4.

This was the problem the whole time. The nut didn't think you were serious, you have to get it's attention and let it know you mean business.

Finally got it off. Kept hitting it with pb blaster and the last couple of days and the impact finally got it. Thanks for all the responses, certainly helped and learned some new tricks. Managed to do it without throwing any tools or cuss words 😂
If you worked on a stuck nut for 3 days, and didn't cuss or throw anything, you might want to have your blood pressure checked.
My guess is 27 over 13.
