ok so im doing a swap on my si h23 to h22. and i pulled the driver side axle off with just a ratchet and a 3 foot pipe for some leverage worked awesome came right off. whent to the passenger side and i wrecked my 1/2 snap on ratchet so i got a 1/2 breaker bar, broke that too, i have a air compressor and and a impact gun and it isnt doing ****. i have used heat wd-40 breaker bars impact gun every thing and it wont budge and im tired of breaking tools what do i do?

Buy a bigger breaker bar

I had a tough time with one of mine too. Just got a really long breaker bar (5 ft) and jumped up and down on the end until it came loose

Luckily I had aftermarket rims that had a big enough hub to get the 32mm (or 36mm? can't remember) socket in while the car was still on the rims. Then I just jumped on it with the end of a craftsman jack handle and it came off. With the car on jack stands, I doubt I would have done the same thing.

an impact didnt get it off? what size air compressor were you using?
just for the hell of it, try all 3 things at once:heat, wd40, and an impact.

PB Blaster ftw. Soak that bad boy and let it sink in over night, then use the impact wrench.

When i swaped my axel's, i got so f***ing iritated with my axel nuts that i used a dremel tool and cut those mf's off!!!! luckily my new axels came with new axel nuts.lol

If it still runs, take it to express oil change (or whatever shops are up there in seattle) and ask them to just loosen the nut for you.
