HELP! Stubborn Axle Nut V70-XC70 1998

Greetings Brickboard,

I just sheared my 0.5" breaker bar trying to remove the left front axle nut. The right front axle nut came off without too much problem. That one was probably working itself loose because I think that's the bearing that's making all the noise.

Anyways, I've soaked the nut and surrounding area with PB Blaster. However this nut will not budge. Has anyone run into this problem? Can I use a heat gun to soften up whatever adhesive gook might be in there? I am not worried about the bearing as I'm going to replace that anyway, but the heat on the axle might carry through to the CV joint.

Is a heat gun okay? Any other ideas on how to crack this nut ;-)

thanks,
-Greg
