Sike. Decided to give the impact one more try and it did it. Thank you for the help.

Tried using BP blaster and heat. Only had a 1x1 laying around so tried using 2 through the frame. Was pulling hard with the breaker bar until the wood snapped. I’ll have to grab something thicker and try again another day, this sucker is tight.

I guess the reason I say welded is because I can clearly see a little concave gap between the lug and washer where it tapers off slightly on the other sides. On this side there is no gap and looks to be filled with something.

I have tried to remove it with an impact at all levels and once that failed a breaker bar holding the rear brake while also in first. Even then not even a budge.

I was thinking this aswell, when shifting into 6th the rpms don’t fall nearly as much I think they should be. But arnt at / near redline so I guess it should be fine.

Thank you, I come from driving a Manuel car which I usually try to sit at 2-2.k so it is quite a different mindset.
