well your about to change the axle so don't worry about screwing it up. With that said cut the thing off. Take the wheel off the go to town on it.

take it to a shop, its people like this that puts us real Mechanics out of bussiness because everyone thinks they are a mechanic, with that said.. With out the right tool you need it will be just about impossible to get it out

Kudos to you for trying to do it yourself, and you have every right to learn how to work on your own car. Anyways, is there anything left to grip it with at all? i know it's a dumb solution, but have you tried some pb breaker, that could be part of your problem, and it can work wonders
