Penetrating oil...a lots of penetrating oil
I had the patience to wait for about 6 month, after I finally made an attempt to loosen the nuts
Every say two weeks, I soaked the connection, wrapped it in with duct tape in order to prevent the oil being washed off in wet weather
I make it common practice to apply some coppergrease to everything that bolts together, to prevent threads rust together
This is very handy for e.g. frontaxles end and hubs
These are often a tough job to seperate
