I've got an 89 745 w/ABS. I recently made a post in a thread about wheel bearings, and voiced some concern about removing mine.

Here's my problem....

Removed rotor / caliper, took 5 minutes. Hopped in my ever so reliable 1986 toyota 4x4 pickup (193k mi), went to NAPA, dropped $30 on a 36mm 6pt wheel hub socket, and returned with a hefty (read: linebacker) friend to attempt removal of the hub nut.

After he and I yarded on the breaker bar until our backs hurt, we decided to start jumping on it (the bar) while it was attached, so as in a manner which would unscrew that evil nut if it decided to break free. Well that didn't work, so I attached the breaker bar again, and this time rested the end of it on a cinder block, and started to lower the car down from the jack... yes I was standing behind a shield... and the breaker bar...well... broke.. actually it bent into a U shape and I decided that I should stop.

The nut is still on there as hard as it was before, and I'm wondering what to do next?

I don't have a torch, and don't trust the old bearing to stand up to 4 miles of driving to get to a place that has a torch... that and I'm flat broke after buying the new hub.

Is there a trick to getting these things off? like maybe they're screwed on a different way?

It's not a castle nut, there's no cotter pin, it's just a huge demonic 36mm solid locknut... and I want it dead or alive...
