Sorry, John, I addressed my post to the wrong person. I should have addressed it to Sigmund.

John,

I understand your problem in trying to loosen the axle nut. Like everyone else, I had the same problem. I'm sorry but my solution isn't going to help you but maybe it will give you an idea. My engine was still intact and running. I put a cheater pipe over a 3/4" drive break over bar, put it on the axle nut, made sure the pipe was on the ground, put the coach in reverse (right side) and backed up. The nut came loose right away. Unorthodox but it worked.
