Flywheel nut is beaten!
Just had to share that I won! That 54 mm bolt put up a good fight, but in the end it was no match!
Took a couple of days trying different things. In the end heat, four or five applications of pb blast and a 5 foot pipe over an 18 inch breaker bar got it. I cannot explain how much force me and my bro put on it to beak it loose and we are both in the 200 lb club. Just glad it finally gave.
I am sure some may laugh at me but I don't have a thousand ft-lb air ratchet to do the job. 300 ft lb ratchet was a joke. It didn't budge a bit.

Man that front e shaft bolt was a pain. I ended up using a pipe wrench to remove it. The bolt is not so pretty anymore after using the pipe wrench. Gotta replace the bolt.
What methods did you guys use ?
