Holy axel nut, suggestions...

[Charlesbusa]

Well, I put my axel nut on last, so can't blame anyone else...

I never put that much torque on the axel nut, but this time its on there!

I used a 6 point socket with a 1 foot breaker bar, laid down on the seat while trying to loosen the nut, compressed the rear suspension, but nothing...

Tried spraying a little wd-40, nope...

Besides a guy with bigger arms or a longer breaker bar, any suggestions?

With pressure on the end of the breaker bar, hit the end with a mallet. Usually, the shock from hitting it with pressure will slowly break it loose. Hopefully, that will help.

You really should be using a torque wrench to tighten it up. Getting off my soap box now.

If the mallot doesn't work, Instead of trying to pull up on the bar, position the bar so that you can put a foot on it. Make sure the socket is firmly on the nut. Start putting your weight on the breaker bar. Usually, it will break loose before you are actually standing on the bar. If not, bouncing a little should do it. You should have sombody to make sure the bike doesn't fall. I had to do this on the cage after getting it back from getting new tires before I got the air compressor installed in the garage.

Regardless of how you do it, make sure the wrench doesn't slip off of the nut. Otherwise, INSTANT ROUND!
