I want to replace my wheel bearing. First the nut was really loose after removing the cotter pin but then I retighten it just to make sure the bearing is still bad before I go further. Therefore, I tighten it, put the wheel back on, and went for a short test drive. When I jack up the car trying trying to remove the nut, it's stuck on reallly tight. I even tried to use impact wrench with no success. Did I cross-thread the nut to the spindle shaft somehow?

What did you torque this nut too? I would get a large breaker/cheater bar. It will provide alot more force then a impact wrench. Nut should be tightened to 188-245 ftlbs.
