Talion Wheel nut seized to hub

[kenyanr1]

Guys, I can not get the wheel nut off the hub. Rear drivers side, if that makes a difference. All wheels spin when I turn it but it won’t come loose. Any ideas?
Thanks

Leave it on.

Aluminum galling sucks. Not sure what you have but steel/aluminum is not a good combination either, dissimilar metals invite galvanic corrosion. Hit the thing with an impact wrench, it'll either unscrew or shear off.

Put a small dab of instant tinman ( anti-seize ) on them from here on out to avoid this in the future.

pull the hub/stub, pry on the hex adapter in a vice if you already hit it with the wife’s purse!

Pickle fork and some penetrating oil would be ideal in the rig, the set screw loose and pin is out right?

Forever??

Like it’s too tight?

You mean the grub screw in the hub? I didn’t mess with that.

Yes. Beyond tight and seized somehow

I may try an impact tomorrow

Is the tire/wheel still installed or is it just the hub and nut?

Or just a plain old 17mm socket & a ratchet w/ a long handle- to give you some leverage

Got plenty of leverage, wheel nut just won’t come loose

Impact is probably best option, try and shock it by hitting the end of rachet. If you pull to hard at an angle the nut will start to cross thread off and get stuck, the shock from impact usually takes it off...

If it’s not coming loose then you still don’t have enough leverage

I would cut the wheel off, remove the hex and work the nut loose in a vice and an impact (or just buy a new one from Jenny’s along with a new wheel.)

You may be onto something here.

Put a pipe over the end of a socket wrench for more leverage.
You might have to jump off a ladder onto the pipe to break it loose

Heat it up.

Tried the purse hack. Didn’t work

Couldn’t fit the ladder in the front room. Thanks though
