Whats the easiest way to get the rear axle nuts off my B? Beat it? heat it? put a pipe on the wrench and put it in gear? Or does it come off easier with the rear jacked up?
Thanks!

I can't tell you how to get a hard one off, but once you get it off I would weld a large hex nut on it that you could put a socket on the next time.

I bought large hex nuts from McMaster Carr to replace them once I got them off. Not for the correct police, but like George said, a 3/4" socket works the next time.

A large hammer and chisel will take them off and get them tight when out back on.

I've got 2 large hex nuts from an International truck dealer in 1998 for my B. Part# 452403C1 At that time they were $3.86 ea. plus tax.Hammer and chisel to get old ones off.Large socket and breaker bar to install new ones.Easier to check and keep tight.

Those that I turned off that were that hard to turn took the threads off the axle when I put the big wrenches to them. Best to cut it off and get a different nut after repairing the threads on the axle where the nut was locked fast.

I ues an old monkey wrench and hammer on the handle. A pipe wrench also works, especially if the tire and rim are off.

After heating, the Harbor Fright Monkey wrench with iron pipe worked well. Threads look good.
Usually my posts stem from my frustration of dealing with 60 yr old rust and neglect. After I vent I just go and figure it out cause technology hasn't progressed to the point that Dick L will pop out of my computer and fix it for me.
As info for anyone looking to replace your nuts... 1 1/2 inch 12 thread.
