The axle nuts are on very tightly. Jumping on a 24" breaker bar, I was unable to loosen the SVX's axle nut. On the Legacy, I used a piece of pipe to make the same breaker bar over four feet long, and I was still unable to crack it.
If you get yours off, let me know how. Next time I'm packing explosives.

Nick,
You could always slip someone at the tire shop $5 to loosen and re-torque the nut(s) for you. They weren't torqued that high at the factory but with so many hot and cool cylces they do tend to be difficult to break free. Either that or you're trying to turn them the wrong way.
