Broke 2 1/2" drive ratchets (one ratchet mechanism, one socket stud), torch + penetrating lube + impact gun did sweet fuck all... its jammed on there good. Of course the nut has been unpeened...
Im kinda at a loss on how to get it off now
I was thinking about picking up a 3/4" drive breaker bar and some heavy steel pipe to slip over the end, anyone else got any ideas? (theres no engine in the car so I cant drive it off)

I use (and I am NOT kidding) an 8 foot long breaker pipe.
I stick it over my 1/2 breaker bar and then put ALL my body weight on the end. I can't imagine (but I could do the math, haha) how much torque that generates, but it works!

I used a 1/2" breaker bar and a 6' cheater bar on it. still took a bit of up and down on it to get it to come loose.
Now, with it properly torqued, I can take it off with my electric impact.

Heres what it took:
3/4" drive breaker bar with a 4 foot cheater bar, 3 1/2" metal tubes through the spokes of the wheel to lock it in place, and repeatedly jumping up and down on the cheater bar.
I bent all 3 tubes, put a big kink in the cheater bar, but it finally cracked
