i would give a discription but a picture says 1000 words 
i cant undo the nut as it is on radically tight, the only time i thought i got close this happened 
i have used a lot of wd40, tried using multigrips but they just cant hold it, i have also tried with a rattle gun with no success. plz help thanks Matt, |

Which nut are you talking about? If its the CV one I've had a few drum ones sieze up completely and destroy everything getting them off, however I thought I'd check the obvious: is that the wheel with the backwards thread nut?

yer it is the one to get the cv joint out, i thought the rear hub nut was the only one with the reverse thread? if it is a reverse thread thats awkward for me. |

Why the use of the extension bar? That will always be a weak point undoing a hellishly tight nut. I think I got up to a 2 meter bar once on a rusted old one. |

Drivers side nut comes off when you take the nut off anti clock wise the left is the same i think Thats the method i used when i changed mine to get them off |

You should always undo the nuts when the car is on the ground engine in etc. otherwise its nah on impossible to get them off One solution is to drill a series of small holes about 95% through one flat then use a big hammer and a cold chisel. you bugger the nuts but you can at least get them off Ta Kiwiinwgtn |

And a bit of 25mm steel bar welded on it sticking out. On car, I bolt it on then stick a brick under it, off car I grab the bar in the vice. Add a 3/4 drive socket and breaker bar + 1M of steel pipe, and the tight nut is no friggin' problem! |
