I have found a very good axle nut removal tool.  It is a 7" metal cutting
blade by Vermont American, and is super-cheap at your local hardware/home store.
Cut the darn thing off with my old circular saw and put on a new one when I
was done.


The first time I took off the axle nut, it had been on there a while (14
years, as far as I know), and I bent the big fat breaker bar I bought at sears.
Ended up cutting it off anyway.  I couldn't believe the local VW dealer in St.
Joseph MO had the nuts in stock.  Surprise!  So, for a few bucks I got the
results I wanted.  The next time I took off the nuts, they weren't so bad, and
came off without damaging my tools.  Gotta lube those babies.
