If you have used the "Torquemeister" with 35 lbs of force ...this equates to 240lbs  or so it isn't going to come off easily …You may have to use torch heat than the Torquemeister and or cut the nut through as far as you can and slit it with a chisel then back it off the stub axle. 

Hi Alan,

I'm skeptical the impact wrenches are going to work tomorrow by itself. That being said I'm looking at purchasing a torch. I've seen the "Bernzomatic" offerings and they have models specifically for rusted bolts situations. 

Do you have a preferred torch you use? I want a small handheld that I can use on occasions such as this. 

This is a link to the Bernzomatic type.
