its a bit tight for a nut splitter tbh.
It it the nylock nut or is it a fluted metal one? |

these are buggers. the nylock ones if they don;t shift then blowtorch to melt the nylon and off it comes.
these ones trap water a blowtorch may help what socket are you using?
Ideally its a 6 sided deep one, 12 sides just slip and don't give enough grip.
maybe a pole over your breaker bar for extra leveerage.
main problem I find is the wheelspinning even with the car on the ground so gte someone on the brake pedal as well. |

Funny how there is always 1 nut that turns a 5 minute job in to a 5 hour one.
good luck getting it off mate  |
