Help, so I've had a squareback for 10 years...got tired of it...traded it for a 69 baywindow camp mobile with riviera pop top.  The breaks don't work well...i'm trying to get the rear drums off...the big 46mm nut wont budge on either side....was hammering away, used some spray and even heated with butane torch....nothing moving....please help!!!!!

I'm about to pull those suckers off myself to replace the axle boots. I purchased a 46mm socket (and 3/4" bar) a bit ago for this purpose. They are for sale at midamericamotorworks.com for around $12 I believe. I've heard you need a long pipe for leverage and spray a penetrant oil on several times for a few days before. Otherwise fastmc says to cut them in half - careful not to damage the threads. (See the "Stuck castle nut" thread)
Let us know the outcome - let's see some pics if you have any!

I use this to get mine off normally....  http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.jbugs.com/store/graphics/00000001/5749.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.jbugs.com/store/merchant.mvc%3FScreen%3DPROD%26Product_Code%3D5749%26Category_Code%3Dtools&usg=__an2yD5qcXzRECt5_cF1t8YGz8Ns=&h=300&w=400&sz=34&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=PJEUB6E7KESg6M:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvw%2Baxle%2Bnut%2Btool%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1

It works great with a breaker bar and a BFH .... put loosening pressure on the breaker bar and strike the flat side of the tool............. it will get them off.......
