ideas on how to get this rusty bolt out

[adsdsasdasdasda]

Hey folks trying to take out the drive shaft so i can take out my transmission and engine. been trying to throw a wrench on the nut (at the end) and use a screwdrive to turn the shaft so the bolts can loosen up. how ever this isnt working. tried pb blaster, wd40, wd40 penetrate. next thing ill try is heat but im worried about the grease, oils from earlier and the break lines near by. alternatively im thinking about grinding off the nuts but not sure if there are any other ideas. please lmk!

P.S. I started stripping the nut head.

Can you fit vice grips on the nut?  That may work.  Otherwise, your idea of grinding/cutting the nut off with a cutting wheel should work as long as you have room to get it in there.

I have a set of extractor wrenches that come in handy for things like this.  Here's a link https://olsatools.com/products/7pc-offset-extractor-wrench-set?variant=41307851161651&country=US&currency=USD.

Seems like you might need a better wrench.  A six point box end would be best.  12 mm I believe.

 

p.s. forgot to mention the original impact wrench.  Tighten up the wrench on the nut.  Then hit it with a hammer. 

 

p.s. 2 - it will take a lot of heat to get the flange hot enough to hurt the seal.  A torch on the nut should help.  Doesn't have to be red hot.
