i have stripped my damn axle nut and can't get it off...tried pb, wd40, breaker bar and now even an impact wrench at 345ft-lb and it still won't turn....it is on the passenger side and now with all those method, the nut is completely destroyed. im so at a lost right now...any ideas i can get this piece of crap off without having to cut the axle or mess up the threads on the axle spindle?

problem is, i can't use the socket anymore because it is so damn stripped...wish i could just drive it to the mechanic shop, but my tires are blown and i needed to remove it so i can change the wheel bearing; breaker bar isn't good if i can't even put a socket on to grip it...they don't make big size nut removers in size 32mm. 32mm just spins freely on the nut and as i down grade to 30mm, it is too small...went standard 1-1/4 and still too big. went with 1-1/8 and that is too small still, im going CRAZY. spent 3-4 days now
