Unless you drive your Landy on the road regularly, in which case they stop it from listing like a torpedoed ship when you go round corners at any reasonable speed.[/QUOTE]
I would love to just leave it but i use it on road quite regularly so need it to hug those corners

Standard landrovers tip over @ 50 degrees .... thats takes a lot of speed around a tight corner.
Leave them off and drive carefully

Another possibility would be to drill a hole in the flat face of the nut that is easy to access. Start small (5mm or so), then possibly onto 7, 9, etc - just don't brake the drill! This will potentially make it easier to chisel but may also relieve the strength of the nut so may make it easier to turn without chiselling.
Heat is always good, but you currently have the potential to loosen the tapered section which will just have it spinning when you try to undo it.
If it does start to spin, welding something to that end will be a good call.

Hi, cheers for your advice. Thankfully I have managed to get it done. I just used a lot of heat and WD40. Eventually, I was able to undo the nut and the split pin broke off as I undid the nut.

That's a great result. We certainly learn lessons as we do this maintenance thing (well I hope I have learned from it!!).

You're right! Feels great to get the job done in the end right?!
My next task was to replace the front and rear prop shaft UJs. I thought I could do it with a hammer and socket but they will not budge
taking it to a local mechanic to press them out!Hicap phill
