To be completely honest, I seriously don't get why people are obsessed with her. Not trying to be mean, just saying. I really don't get it.

Bro, I'm not sure why people aren't getting this but spindle nuts aren't that tight. You don't need a jack, or to let the car down on the wrench, and you sure as hell never use a torch. Spindle nuts are tightened until there is drag on the wheel and then you back of a little and insert the cotter pin. If they where ANY where as near as tight as this meme and you people insist they are the f*cking wheel wouldn't even turn. Craziness.That's why it's good to have the right tool for the job. A little heat from an oxy-acetylene torch does wonders.

If you say so. Just make sure you replace both bearings and races, cause they will be trash, and hope didn't f*ck anything else up to bad. If you did like the moron in the pic and left the brakes on then you probably need to replace the rotors, the calipers, and completely flush and replace the brake fluid. I've literally had to dig out cars that where buried in the ground well above the frame and never once had to take more than a 1/2 ratchet to a spindle nut. You are going to argue with me no matter what, even though we both know you are full of shit so cool, whatever you say bro.It's not about them being "tight".
I've had to heat them red hot to get the nut off when the threads rust, then hit it with an impact.
