I ended up taking the advice of Scott Fischer and a few others and drove the
nut
off by using a hammer and cold chisel. If I coudln't get the nut to spin off I
was going to cut it in half trying and get it off. It ended up spinning off
after a good session with the torch and a few (several) blows with the chisel
and hammer The nut spun and I could spin it the rest of the way off with a pipe
wrench. I now have to buy an $12.00 nut but at least I can get working on the
adjusters.
The rest of the rear end came a part fairly easily. All the rear brakes are
apart , I might as well rebuild each rear wheel cylinder while I'm at it and
replace the old brake lines with new ones considering I busted one getting them
off.... I still have to pull the hubs (Gotta rent a hub puller to get them off)
so I might need new wheel bearings after I'm done with that..I'll see...
Thanks for any and all help in getting the nut off.....
