This looks like a pretty simple job in Bentleys...   But darned if I can
get the nyloc nuts off where the axle flange attaches to the
differential.   Of course I'm on my back with a foot or so of room to
work.   It's hard to get any leverage, the gaitors are in the way, the
axle turns when I crank on the wrench and it's real tight between the
yoke and the flange anywhere that I can get to the nuts.
 
Any tips to share about how to get these nuts to move?   I'm kinda
scared about cranking too much, don't want to shear them off.   Or are
they just nut and bolt, easy to replace?
