Here is my variant:

* 1-5/16" socket 3/4" drive
* 3/4" drive breaker bar
* Spridget axle housing over breaker bar
* Beautiful danish girl in fancy outfit on end of axle housing 
  (buddy's girlfriend, was about to go out) 
* Ulix sitting on engine block that is lying on its side on workbench
* Nut comes off like butter
* OK,OK, nut had been removed just 3 years ago with impact air wrench
* Wish I had taken a picture...
