I ended up snapping a 18" long 1/2 drive breaker bar trying to remove the nuts, then I bought a 36" 3/4 drive breaker bar...and broke that (made in china btw)

So I ended up going down the street to a truck repair shop and they loosened them for me in a milli second.

They didn't even want money from me...rare in this day and age

Really need a solid 3/4 breaker bar and I used a 6 foot cheater pipe to break axle nut loose. Some torque specs from the manual. Install axle washer and nut. Tighten axle nut to 132 ft. lbs. Rotate axle several 5 to 10 times to seat the wheel bearing. Tighten axle nut to final torque of 263 ft. lbs. Align nut to next cotter pin hole and install new cotter pin. Heads up the factory uses red loctite on the caliper mount adapter bolts (130 ft.lbs) and the bearing hub bolts (149 ft. lbs.). I did bust a 18 mm socket on my first try.
