The first time that I ever removed those large axle nut. A big truck service center had messed with them for the PO. Got the cotter key out. Ended up using a big 3/4" drive ratchet. Put a 6 ft pipe over the ratchet. Put me at 195 lbs. Standing on the end of the pipe. Next I had to jump on that pipe to get each nut loose. I didn't reuse the axles, or nuts. How did they get them that tight. And how did the axle, and nut take that? Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale.
