*nod* It's getting the nut removed from the axle that's the issue. The
only way I can see to do this is to remove the rotor and free up some more
of the spindle so I can immobilize it. Only way to do this that's come to
mind (with help) so far is the use of a large pair of vise grips in
conjunction with a breaker bar wedged on the ground. This idea lacks
appeal, as I don't relish the thought of the vise grips digging their
hungry teeth into my fairly virginal spindle. If there are other
suggestions, I'm open to them. :)
