Why is there always something to hold up a job.

I'm changing out the triple trees, have nearly everything removed and was going to remove the front wheel next. The cussed axle nut won't budge....even with a rattle gun. I'm not the one that torqued it down the last time, guess my friend is stronger than I give him credit for. Even with the book value of torque, it should come loose, always has before. Guess I'll spray a little bearcat pee on it and let it sit overnight, then address it after church. Might try a pipe on a breaker bar, just don't want to mess up the nut. Oh well, getting tired of messing with it today anyway. @#$^&*$% nut.....

So, your saying it's not even rotating the axle in the forks? Penetrating oil is prolly a good idea.

Did you release the right side fork pinch bolts yet? I've been there! If not they may be adding to your struggle.

If you still have the Honda Tool Kit spark plug socket it may come in useful [the other end   ] to hold the left side of the axle in place if the pinch bolts don't.

Finally got it off. The pinch bolts were already out, sprayed some liquid wrench on it and went to have a snack. Later, I used a 24" piece of pipe on the breaker bar and it moved. Once it did that, the impact wrench took it right off but I really had to grunt to get it to move first. After that, came right off. I also had tapped a screwdriver blade into the split, not sure it helped, didn't hurt.

The piece of pipe on the breaker bar is the same thing I had to do too.  I really had to muscle it too!
