   ..or best depends on how you see it still,how the heck I'm supposed to take this off? I don't have an impact wrench so haven't tried that,suppose a dremel would be one way to do it? Thanks for the help.

   have you got a big breaker bar? would have thought that would give you enough leverage to get it off

   I would suggest heating it up but wouldn't be good for the bearing if you are saving it

   As l33h says, leverage mate, in the past I've got a 4ft bar with socket on the end then jammed it under a wall of my house and jacked the car up lol, wasn't a great idea but it fucking worked

   They are a bitch sometimes, I've used a scaffolding bar before slid over the breaker bar and even that took some swinging on lol

   Luckily It should only be torqued up to 140nm which isn't much,I've taken off the other 2 on my VTS no problem it's just the stacking it's so bad on this one,I don't need these trailing arm at the moment but I would like to strip them down in case i need any spare part in the future.
   
   The trailing arm is off the car so holding it still while using a breaker bar is kind of an issue,wouldn't like to rip out the bench the vice is mounted to,as said it stood out with the other 2 trailing arms but wouldn't like to risk it on this one lol,nevertheless I'll find a way to get this off somehow,thanks for the help.

   Slot a piece of scaffold pipe over the end of the breaker bar,it'll give more leverage.If you've got some plusgas spray that on first.

    I've drilled the nut edges before today along with punches to give as much relief as possible before getting a big bar on it.
