Undoing hub nuts off car!

I need to undo the rear hub nuts on the donor shafts but they are no longer attached to the Sierra!

Is it a case of penetrating oil, impact gun, heat if required, a large vice and socket and a large breaker bar?

Or are there any other ways?

Thanks

41mm socket on an impact gun is by far the easiest method I have found. Failing that a large bar does the job, or pop to the nearest garage if its easier.

Do mine with a large ( 3/4" ) breaker bar and a tyre lever in / through the studs.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I put mine in the vice and with a 1/2 metre ratchet and not great deal of force they came off without argument.
Iput them back together the same way!
