I brought an H home and was going to put new seals in the axles. I broke a Johnston bar clean off at the end trying to get the nuts off of the wheel. I heated them red hot, doused them with cold water and they came off easily with just the socket wrench. I put anti-sieze on them for future removal. I have never seen a nut not come off once it has been heated red hot and doused with cold water. The sudden contraction of the expanded metal breaks all rust and bound metal surfaces. In the auto shop I worked in there was rarely a day went by that we didn't have to heat something cherry hot and douse it to get it off..nuts, wheel cylinder bolts,bleeder screws, hangers just about any component you could think of that would rust on and need to be removed
