Can't get the axle flange nut off to replace cv boots

[TwinTurboGTR]

Don't use an angle grinder or a drift to get that nut off. Unless you plan on replacing the whole shaft, that nut will come off. How are you trying to take this off? Is it in the air and you are having someone hit the brake? Or is the tire still on and you are going through the wheel center?

Going through the wheel center will give you more leverage. Also, with that length of pipe, the longer the better. Just be sure to be careful. Doing this job one time, the socket exploded under the tension. Thank god the wheel was on otherwise shrapnel would have flew everywhere.
