I assume this nut is reverse thread, but I cannot seem to get it off with a breaker bar and heat. Am I mistaken?
 
Nope, right hand threads. Originally torqued to 120ftlb, but they seem to grow tighter over time and who knows how tight you have it now.
 
If you think that nut is tight -- wait'll you try to pull the hub off. Nothing holding it but the friction of a tapered fit, but...
 
Good point, Geo. Easy to ruin the hub, too.
