I had the same problem this weekend. I tried beating it, Bouncing on it it would not budge a bit.... Then i got a 3ft breaker bar and finally got it.

i was so releived once mine broke loose. but now i cant get the sucker to stay tight. the stock axle nut to me should be a one-time-use thing. i'm really looking into an antifade.

use electrical tape to hold it as a way to keep it on until you get a antifade

I used a 8 foot diggin bar slid between the wheel studs and a 30" pipe wrench to get mine loose..... And I needed to use all my fat guy size!!!!! Plus i had to recruit another one of my fat guy buddies..... It sucked!!!!!!

Yeah, the stock locknut is pretty much a one-time deal. Once it's loose, it's almost impossible to keep it on there.

An anti-fade is good, but a pinch-bolt locknut is cheaper. I think they less than $40.

i got pinch with no problems. Stocker either strips or dont come off. To get mine off i put pipe through sprocket hub, then got a pipe wrench about 3 feet long and came undone like butta. not really but yeah
