After trying all the other 'techniques'--don't forget to undo the tie
rod on the back of the O/D--I bought a 3/4" air impact wrench from
Harbor Freight (the socket was almost as much as the wrench). It barely
fit between the chassis crosspiece, but spun the nut right off.
An 'extravagant' purchase to be sure, but I also have a large, 8-sided
rear hub socket with a 3/4 inch female 'socket.' The hub nut has an
official torque setting of 'tighten until all the snot has come out,'
and the wrench accomplishes it.
