Did you try heating it up?
so im dropping my transmission and i need to get the axle nuts off. but i cant get them off, i tried and i had my neighbor thats really strong try and he ended up bending the breaker bar and lifting the front of the car up, i tried using an impact hammer and it didnt work and i tried spraying it with stuff to unrust it and unseize it but nothing worked....any ideas??

no im trying that next but i gotta get all the spray off first cuz its kinda highly flammable and i dont think that would be a good mix. Would heating it up help??

worst case scenario you can take the caliper off but leave the line connected then unbolt the knuckle or even the whole shock so you can have enough play and then seperate the axle from the tranny and it will still be in the hub. or go buy a new axle now as i have a feeling that is siezed in there like mine was.

use a big pipe instead of a breaker bar, more leverage :)
would i have to buy a new axle if it is seized or it there any way to unseize it? and im going to put a pipe on the breaker bar for the leverage

Borrow or rent an air compressor and an impact wrench and socket. I think the nut is either 32mm or 36mm. It is amazing what an impact wrench will undo.
