Hi good fellows.

I have been taking things apart in preparation for an "out the top" engine swap. I took off the headers, intake manifold, water pump and fan, alternator,heads,fuel pump, distributor and power steering unit. Believe it or not those came off without incident. So, following the guide, I took off the right front wheel (front jacked up from the center with a 12 ton jack, 2 6 ton jack stands placed).

The axle nut won't budge. Have used 3/4 drive breaker bar with a pipe for leverage, an impact gun, various penetrating oils and propane heat.

I have an engine(a 403)all rebuilt with all the necessaries as I've read about, but if I can't get the right axle out....I can't remove the old engine.

I keep looking at it to see if it's reverse thread, but I don't think so.

Anyone have a suggestion?

I sure would be grateful
