Bucket cyl on 89 L555

[deaop06]

Need some advice. I am putting new seals in my bucket cylinder. I got it apart today. Had to use my winch and a chain to pull it apart. Now my problem is the nut won't budge. I used a 3/4 breaker bar on a 1 1/2" socket with 3 feet of pipe and it never moved. Do they lock tight the nut and should I heat it a little? I don't have a 1/2" drive socket that will fit or I would try my impact. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Problem solved. Went to a truck tire shop and he used a Mac AWP050 1/2" impact wrench and pop it off. It did have lock tight. He told the wrench develops 1200 lbs of torque. They use them on their mobile tire repair trucks.

You did well, I found that if a bar won't crack it, a rattler won't touch it either.
Thankfully I have yet to find one that 6' of pipe won't crack
If needed, heat is ok to crack the Loctite. The manual says to use Loctite to ensure it doesn't un-do later.
