Re: how do you break an axle nut?

[audistuff@juno.com (Paul R Anderson)]

Just put a lug bolt in and have someone hold on the brake.  You may
need a long handle.

As for the top, I've used an allen wrench and a crescent wrench.  Not
necessarily the best way but since my box end wrench doesn't have
enough offset, it does the job for me.
