@carls_garage: One of my superpowers is turning rust into nuts. Extremely rusted axle nut removal, lug nut sheared in half drill out, 2007 Dodge Nitro. Tricks and tips. #mechanic #howto #torching #dodge #rustbelt #automotive
Be easier to take off the radiator cap and put a new car under it

At that point, replace the knuckle, CV shaft, and everything else. I would never spend my time on trying to get that off. Good for you tho.
