Diassembling rear beam off the car
Main question is - how does one undo the rear driveshaft hub nuts when the beam is off the car?
Thanks,
Pavs

Airtool is easiest.
Alternatively you can put the driveshafts in a vice, but make sure it needs to be pretty solid.

chisel works if all else fails as does a grinder and chisel

Thanks chaps, will give the impact gun a go. Although all I've got is an Aldi jobbie and struggles with wheel nuts!  Will also try the breaker
bar and just shock it.
Could someone confirm which one is left-hand threaded?

Use a blowtorch on the nuts to melt out the nylon locking inserts. You would want to replace the hubnuts anyway.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Passenger side is left hand thread, notches in nut will confirm.

I ended up carefully cutting mine off with a hacksaw! I just couldn't get them to stay still in the vice and still have enough room to use a
long bar.
