Need to change rear wheel bearing, but...

We don't have HF here but something similar called Princess Auto.

Personally I do have a small hand held sand blaster I was thinking on using.

A Dremel with a small wire brush to clean the threads up as much as possible was going to be my starting point and work my way up from there.

Unfortunately I don't have torches at my disposal but I will be using some MAPP gas to give some heat before attempting to remove the nut.

Princess Auto apparently has the yellow bottles on sale right now. A coworker suggested that to get a bunch of heat on what's left of the nut. I'm likely going to angle-grinder through the hub lip and into the nut as a starting point. Then air chisel to split the nut. It's hard to see where the nut ends and the CV shaft begins - stay tuned.
