I am trying to replace the bearings on my mower deck and the nut on the top of the arbor will not come loose. So far I have tried 12 hour soak with PB blaster, 36 inch pipe cheater on my breaker bar and heat from a propane torch. It will not budge. Any suggestions? More heat? I don't have an impact, so not a option for me.

Are you certain you're turning it the right way? Things like that are reverse thread often enough.

Put your cheater bar back on, and hit the end with the biggest thing you got, like a giant wrench or another pipe, a hammer is a lil more dangerous because you have to aim... this is the poor mans impact wrench. if its in the proper orientation, you could try kicking down on your cheater pipe as well, same deal.

I've wrecked so many bolts trying to take them out with straight pressure, either stripping or snapping, either option is ******* bullshit when its a 8mm bolt with no room around it holding your ignition coil that you just dicked.
