I used an acell. torch and tapped it with a hammer for about three hours, then I kicked, cussed, and beat the thing till it came off. It was also 40* outside, so I don't know if the torch really helped.

I just have to subscribe. You need to use what sitting bull used for his porting "a bigger hammer". Just be glad you didn't find this out on the side of the road with a flat or the like.

I have a similar problem, but that is because I lost the "key" to my locking lugs. Speaking of which, I need to search for that...

Seriously though, good luck NFS. I just hope that all the banging isn't going to put any cracks in your axles. I know that they hold up to the forces of a car, but I don't know if the sudden jolting of a sledge would cause stress fractures. This is all out of my *** though.
