Not to be used to cut....

If its cold outside hit the housing around the nut with the torch (causing a little expansion) and tap the nut with a wrench or hammer that might break the rust bond. It worked on my hubs anyway. Along with what Whiteknuk suggested. Gotta get that lube in the threads...

Safety Inspection & Registration complete. On the road again (legally)!
