I recently removed my axle nuts and I'm not sure they were on with even 100 ft lbs of torque. Both sides came off easy. I was prepared for a high degree of resistance so I left the tires on with the lugs nuts loosened but finger tight, put on the 12" breaker bar and socket, took the handle off my floor jack and slid it over the breaker bar, had my son hold the socket in place, and when I went to put some pressure on it, it came right off with very little effort.

After I change the axle seals on both sides I reversed the process and this time I pout some real force on it and probably got it to three hundred or so foot pounds of torque. Then just a tiny bit more to fit the cotter pin in the hole.
