If you have acess to a 1 5/16" socket it might work.

O'Reilly's has a rack of larger sockets made for axle nuts. The 33 mm socket fits a lot of front wheel drive cars.

Mine came off pretty easy with just a breaker bar. Not really torqued much more than a caliper retaining bracket. It had been on the car for about 5 years. A little WD40 and lean on breaker bar. Done.

I got the socket at Carquest for about $15.

Got mine at autozone too. Plenty in stock.

(side note, the side that had a "good" bearing was quite a ***** to get off)
