Then, while it is soaking in, go find a breaker bar. I used a 20" breaker bar and put a 4 foot steel pipe over it. I broke the first bar, bought another breaker bar, and it worked with that. Try not to use an old, worn breaker bar on this.

Also note: DO NOT PULL ON THE DRIVESHAFT. ALWAYS pry it as shown!
what i ended up doing was just going to wheel works or a mechanic and they can blast it off for free or close to free. just remeber to tighten it b4 you leave.

i broke a torque wrench and 2 breaker bars, lol...
