Are you talking about lug nuts or wheel bearing bolts or the big axle nut?Also, is this the MacLeans?
edit : I see from your profile it is the MacLeans.Welcome to the board.Had a great time at your place last weekend.Thanks for the hospitality.The girls have not stopped talking about the weekend.

Nuts are on the axle, soaking with penetrating fluid at the moment .Shouldn't be any problem to have them off for the weekend.They're yours for the taking.Does this mean maybe the Grand is getting some TLC?

OK I'm done,my old 30 will not give up its nuts.At least not without some torches,which I don't have.Can anybody else help out the MacLeans in their axle nut search??
